Thanks for the best wishes although no chance of me getting anywhere near the top 20. I'll be happy to get round but hope to get under 5 hours. I agree that Ben has a winning chance - saw him cooling down in the river after Borrowdale and he looks to be a phenomenal physical specimen. Having said that the way Marc Laithwaite scampered up Helvellyn on the Sunday of the recce you would definitely class him as fell runner.
Will touch base again before the big day.
