    Yes- marshalling is a bit of a problem. Can we expect to see a hare on the course this year then?

    I'd love to Pav but unfortunately I'll be pounding the streets of our glorious capital city for 26.2 miles (first and last time, I might add) in late April and so might fancy a bit of a break afterwards.

    Never say never though...got a nice, warm handshake from the Mayor of Worthing last year who turned up in all his finery which really made my day

    Thanks GeoffB - is that what's called a baptism of fire...or should that be snow, sleet, hail and gales? I stuck at it though and made it round in just about one piece; so thanks for the suggestion...it was 4 and 1/2 hours I'll never forget.

    So what should I do next?

    Got to be Duddon Valley June 2nd. You never know, the weather might be better than Edale?

    Second thoughts, Lake District? June? Good weather? No chance

    Not guaranteed good, but surely a fair chance of being better than last Sunday?

    Do Rivington Pike - it's shorter than the walk from the parking field to Edale Village Hall!
