Ay, Grizedale's a tough one no doubt and a cracking route. Only done it the once and agree with y'sentiment about it Mapper, felt well chuffed wi'mesen at'end f'finishing!

I think both are unique. F'me though the Ben always has first call...

E-mail the race Secretary.
I have just had a reply of thanks and he also said there are still 130 on the reserve list.

Emailed and got this reply

"You are very high up the list, very good chance of a run, wait 2 more weeks please"

So as long as a few more drop out then it looks like my luck will be in. Wohooo
