I believe I recall reading that you can leave kit with the Quartermaster in Ingleton, is this correct?

That is true for transport to Threshfield, should be in your handbook
So given the discussion re kit, is it worthwhile packing the 'kitchen sink' and then sending back what isn't required? i.e. I plan to take a Hope Vision2, but as I don't have a spare battery I plan to throw in a Petzl which I won't take unless it's required.
A myo will pass scrutiny, no spare bulb required but I took my phone with me which has an inbuilt torch and this was allowed as a back up. if not a cheap single aaa plastic torch would get you through I'm sure.Quote:

Don't forget the little cutthrough at the start that allows you to lead the race for the first 100m metres or so....:rolleyes:;)
Just bought a myo, if i take my old Alpkit Gamma as back up, do you reckon this would be ok?Quote:

Can I just say, in the spirit of getting my excuses in early, I have an infected toe nail.
I'm sure it would Good luck Merry.Quote:

All part of a fun filled day and night though. Good luck everyone and here's to a fantastic adventure, without too much pain :)
That's me packed and setting off for Threshfield.
Good luck everyone - see you there, say hello if you spot me.
What am I doing? Yikes! :eek:

I didn't forget you off the goodluck post. I thought your ankle was still injured. I hope it holds out.Quote:

Yikes is a great word there stef. Just about sums up my feelings in a nutshell :D
It sort of still is injured and I also have a small snuffle of a cold. If I try hard enough I might be able to think of a few more excuses before its too late....Quote:

Weather forecast for Whernside here----> metcheck. Not particularly warm then and windy on the tops, with a little early drizzle to contend with Saturday morning. Looks like it'll be cold after dark for sure.
Cheers for the good luck messages, weather forecast certainly looks interesting reminiscent of my first Fellsman, much better than the heat of last year just the joys of Fleet Moss to look forward to, may be a diversion year.;)
Have a great day everyone see you tommorow morning bright and breezy:)
Cheers everyone. Hope to see a few familiar faces tomorrow and make some new acquaintances. Suffering a little with a gut strain from last weekend's Coniston fell race but will bash on to the bitter sweet end. :rolleyes:
Good luck to all!:)

im driving from wakefield, up at 3.30 and pick stef up from campsite by about 5.30, what fun!
All the best Merry, Stolly, BritNick and anyone else who's doing this. Hope the wind and rain die down for you. :)
Good luck to everyone running the Fellsman this weekend, it's an awesome challenge. Hope the weather is kind to you.
Linda & Trevor
P.S Merry - I wouldn't mind some training tips as I'd love to do this one next year.
Filter tips if its merrylegs :) ;)
Any news?????
Started at 9am and winning times have a bit over 10hr last few years so the first runners should be in now. There'll be plenty among 'our' runners in the 15-20hr group and the later ones will be out all night. Hope it stays clear and dry :)Quote:

Oh a nuts duly frozen off in a horizontal rain and hail storm whist crossing over Blea Moor, the most exposed moor in Christendom.
Well done Stolly and a bloody good effort to all who took part, conditions must of been testing to say the least !
Good work Stolly :cool: Looking forward to an epic adventures report ;)
Well done Stolly... back next year?:)
First - Jez Bragg 10.50 First lady Saz 13.45 Yours truly 4th 13.10
As far as I can remember anyway ,my brain is as numb as the rest of my body . At least the rain only lasted an hour or two then it turned into a bright ,breezy day .
Many thanks to all the helpers and checkpoint staff
