why are you all whingeing about cost ?if you think its not worth it dont do it ! simply !
Whinging makes the world go round HJ.
Less money to spend in fort bill on the piss on saturday night.
2 pints down on last years entry fee :p
Anyway, getting back to the race.
I've entered, and i hope i get in, cracking race and fantastic atmosphere.
Hope to see you there HJ, then i can poke you in the eye. lol
That's if i get in. Lol:p
The list is up...........
oh... I'm not in :(
Is there a reserve list?
We got in, but some friends entered last week and didn't make it in.
:( :confused:
I sent my entry in the same envelope as another and they got in and I didn't :confused: We've both done the race before...how does that work?? Gutted.Quote:

just spotted this
The Secretary will place on the website the provisional listing of accepted runners, if you are not on this list, and have not had your entry form returned, you are on the waiting list. No information on an individuals position on the waiting list will be given out.
Just have to hope my entry doesn't come back in the post this week
Mistcherub didn't get in either - he's done 14 already! I, on the other hand, couldn't be bothered entering this year!Quote:

That's a bummer Pete - don't give up hope though, you must be on the reserve list and there will be plenty that cant do the race come Sept.:(Quote:

I am in! My aim this year is to race the Ben, Snowdon & Scafell Pike, so that's the first step.
Pleased

As Deeko said - I'm on the waiting list. I'm pretty hopeful I'll still get a run, but if not it'll be a chance to do the race at the Braemar Games.
My own theory is that they waited a couple of days then opened all the entries and picked the first 500 odd from the pile on the floor.
There's still time, my other option is to pretend to be a skyrunner....
it'dd be easier if they just went online, like 3 peaks and Carnethy, that way you know if you are in straight away.
In, might actually be able to run it this year.
panicking as usual, give em chance:confused:Quote:

Injury, work and family commitments. Places will come. I have to work in the states 3 months a year, yet don't know until a month before when I'm going, so I could yet have to miss this one, however this is one date I'm really keen to keep free having missed a run last year. I entered Noonstone then the next day found out I have to be in the states and then had to email to cancel my entry. It's just unavoidable. I can't not enter any races all year just in case many others will have similar situations.
I'm in as the lone trawden ac runner.:)Quote:

Um....not in either :-( not sure how I'm not, as sent my entry form off the day the forms came out....everyone must have hand delivered them!!!!!!!!
feeling a bit guilty as some "old hands" not got places , but , I'm in .:)
can you not get in because you do the sky races? thought there were places kept aside for those competitors? worth a try..Quote:

The Scotts are on to you RW:eek:. They won't let you in the Ben, and Mrs RW can't do Carnethy.:confused:Quote:

Whilst typing, does anyone know where that framed aerial photograph of ''the Cuillins at 15000ft'' went to that was hung on the wall in the Nevis Bar? It used to be on the left wall as you entered the pub and it dissappeared a year or two ago when they refurbed. It was only a small picture but I'd pay a price for it if anyone could get it for me ??
Just resurrecting the thread.
Hope the training is going well :)
Good luck when the time comes it is one of those to do races.
Training for what !!!Quote:

not me, and judging by the lack of response, not many others have either.Quote:

Still completely in the dark here too!Quote:
