I'm camping for the weekend at Holme Farm, he said he would squeeze me in so probs full by now. Ring him anyway just in case but if he's full try this ...Crag Hill Farm 01729 860266. Not sure if there's any loos/showers at this one tho!

I ran up Pen y Ghent this morning in the snow, following the race route up and then back to Horton. Keeping to the main track was okay, although very icey at the top, but coming back down it was nire on impossible to run an alternative line, other than on the same Penine Way track. I know in the race descenders normally stick to the right and are often in the tussocks rather than on the path but the snow buggered that idea up this morning. The boggy grass (under the 5 or 6 inches of wet snow) was totally waterlogged too - it will definitely "take a stud" on race day :D.

Potential for some head on collisions too :rolleyes:.

I'ii probably go up and watch the race, anyone got any predictions on who's going to win? any info on the foreign entries?

Would be awesome to see Jebby win this year, lets hope he is going well

hi , im going to stop at ribble head pub on the fiday night in our c15 campervan and then drve down to horton car park early sat for reg. there is plenty of parking near that pub usually and no ones bothered us near there before. may
see you cheers.

OK lads n' lasses, for those of you doing this classic race let me know what it is you would like to hear over the tannoy as you come storming down the field to the finish funnel to rapturous applause (Ok - admitted this might be nearer a stagger and a collapse at the end for some)

You will all have your moment of glory and I am happy to try and help you make the most of it (assuming I have not left my post for a pee or a cup of tea) send me an email...........
Good luck to all.

Just run from hill inn over ingleborough then down to finish in horton the track is very wet and boggy, really cut up there must of been a hell of alot recce the course. could be in for lot of falls on the final descent with weak legs!!

Quick question - last year we received a form in the post to take to registration, should I have one this year or do we just turn up ?
