‘Ruddles Rule’ named after long distance guru Ray Ruddle who maintains that success on such events depends on walking any up gradient and only running on level or down gradients.:cool:

Sorry to hear you are not doing our local event Moley.
I have to join you on the non starters line. Achilles prob like you as well as knackered knee from impact with the ground. Completely gutted as I'll never get an OMM so close to home again. If it was in Cape Wrath I might not have minded so much! My partner has now got a "lady" to replace me.... he won't want me back again!
I've known it was here in the Elan for over 2 years, and it has been difficult keeping that under wraps!
How many crocked locals are there, failing to make the start? Anyone else? We could do our own straight line event, see if we can get from the start to the finish in the 2 days!

Yes, gutted, it was to be the Missus first event (and probably only MM) as well. But physio knows best and after 4 months of rehab I'm not going to blow it all now with a walk over the Elan that I've done 50 times before.
We contacted Jen and are helping marshall.

Missus and I are on the early registration from 2 - 7ish Friday evening, not sure where after that (pub). Look us up anyone arriving then.

I'm helping too, but haven't heard from Jen yet:confused:

The postbox at the end of the lane was infested with snails. I hope she got my letter....

I'm hoping that the ligaments in my shoulder will heal up in time.

We are only on those duties because we said we could be there early if needed - they are short staffed for that first shift before all the main helpers arrive in the evening. No idea what happens after that (other than pub) :D.

Yes he's back. Spoke to him Tuesday and he'll be in touch with you. Coming over to me to check some kit out next week, think he needs to know what you have etc. then he may be able to borrow some from me.
Think he ran Arenig on Sunday after his hols and went pretty well :).
