It's in reference to how many people are entering the race.
Some of them are like when you are walking round ikea :D

See you tonight pal,

Manhar we are camping if you fancy it

Will be good to see you Jamie - call me a wuss some of us try not to do camping.

come on Manhar come and camp!

Jamie will make room in his tent :D

Get yourself up Manhar,

As you can see from the post above, its comedy night in Glenridding.

Just sitting in the hotel supping coffee and overlooking Ullswater, looking beautiful, blue sky, sunshine, does it get better.
Up for this tomorrow, and remembering from last year, the final climb is character building. Helvellyn Tri on Sunday, the September double, could be my first ever tri in nice weather, I'm gagging!
Apparently due to Great North swim cancellation, there's a few rooms at the Best Western Glenridding hotel this weekend.
Look out for the Tod Harrier.
See you all tomorrow.

That GPS trail is mine. Things to note on that are the wobble as I nearly returned along Striding Edge (Helvellyn was in cloud), and I took a very poor line of St Sunday Crag, leaving the descent until far too late. I'd really like to find the scree this year.

A couple of links that might be of interest. Race reports from our club website, the route, and some photos. The forecast for tomorrow looks completely different to last year!
