The next thing.....

[Toffer]

So you've run the thousand metres
and Snowdon's just a jog,
and you've done the South Wales Traverse as a day out with the dog.

But you've heard the old men talking
of a race that used to be,
that makes these other epics
seem a stroll before your tea

So here's your chance to join the club
of those that boast they've run
the race that makes the hard men cry
the ................, that the one!

If you can complete this little ditty then you may be eligible for a place on the start line. Oh, and you need to be prepared for 6 hours of unrelenting misery And its not a race. And you need to be able to navigate, well

One that raised both tears of enjoyment & curses of pain...
Scottish 4's (duathlon) it really should be on again...
Martin Stone made it happen more than once....
Lassies & Lads tripped & peddled the trying tough distance in greatest style...
'Appen perchance young Toffer will make it happen again..
And we will trip trap in fell shoes & push our peddles....
Amidst, up & over some of the very best of places....
Hope so it's one of the very very best "races" ever....

[Toffer]

O'er look like I've started something now
Excellent stuff LS, that seems like a very good idea!

Fleetfoot among the fells,
in veritas king of the mountains.
Ennerdale, Borrowdale, Langdale, Wasdale,
classics that have fallen so many times
to this ariel conqueror.
Knowledge so intimate, feet so sure,
stamina so durable, speed so incredible,
these are native qualities
which, in their intensity,
make the battle ever fierce.

I think that means you've just entered yourself .

Not ruled out yet, just undecided. Missus away all next week and I'm totally hopeless at decision making. See how I feel after Rhinog sortie this weekend, and weather forecast. Be good to see you all.

Aaargh, work has messed up, looks as though I am going to have to work though trying desperately to swap, will keep you posted!

[Boy Wonder]

I'm on wedding duty that day, oh what a shame.....

[Toffer]

Yippee, I think, engineered a swap so I can do it. Got to work the night before though so I may have to stop for a snooze on Fan Fawr
