Can't wait!
as I don't have proper fell shoes, I went round the recce in Adidas Kanadia - the grip was fine, but then it was dry and we were taking the descents easy. As I've found before, main problem is that they don't hold the foot securely enough - specially when wet.Quote:

There's a lot of sharp rough gritstone and it looked like it could be murder with something like Mudclaws with very aggressive lugs catching and digging in.
There are also some steep grassy descents ~ Mudclaws for me, defo.Quote:

I've done it in Mudclaw 330s and Mudroc 290s and will definitely be using the Mudclaws this year!
Mudclaws for me too 290's though as those 330's wrecked my feet again :(
who's staying for the party?
I'll be staying for the party, so long as I've found someone to keep an eye on (my) Emma for the duration of the race. Otherwise I'll have to go straight home:(.Quote:

Actual running time to Honister was 4.22 according to DeeJay (so 8 minutes to spare), but I spent nearly as much time on my face!
Weather was pretty much 100% and the scenery gorgeous If the weather is as good on the day, we'll be in for a good 'un.
