clairster - got mini-marses from tescos last night - I'll bring a few extra for you ;)

I am now officially fully prepared for this race! :D

Had a trip to Tesco's to,I now have mini mars bars and jelly babies:D I feel as prepared as Im gonna be:o

Is this one pre-entry like the Downfall was? Just been granted a pass out. I thought I was on baby duty all weekend so hadn't planned anything.

Matt - don't bother with Mars Bars, just stick to a couple of Jelly Babies every 20 mins or so (advice given to me from several long distance specialists) When did you turn to the 'Darkside' then Matt?

Not sure what the weather will do this weekend, but if it's dry road shoes are a must.

Been with Dark Peak since new year ish,not doing to bad in the local league:) As for the race,whats everyone using?bumbags?or rucksacks?

I agree with Phil, a gel and a few jelly babies, I find chocolates too heavy if you are going fast( not that I'm as fast has Phil or Matt)

Phil, Matt was encouraged to join the Dark Side by a very friendly Forumite;):D

What about drink?was thinking of taking my 1l platy.

Well.... well... young lad..
(trust the next bairn, will wait for his/her Dad)

Entry on The Day ONLY!
True Race Organiser, can't be there Sunday..
So, I'm going to stand in & out a bit...
VERY, very... fortunately,
the real RO
& the usual supects.....
who make it happen....
Have it all set up for another....
Super super super Trog....
ENJOY...

wish I could too....
(next year I'll kick butt & ankles too... maybe!)

Picked up on this race really late and was wondering if someone can give me some advice?

Was meant to be doing Ennerdale tomorrow but twisted my ankle a couple of weeks ago and it doesn't feel up to 6 hours of rough fell running. What's the terrain like on this race, in terms of ankle turning!?! I've done a couple of runs in the Peaks which have been rough and tussocky, but then also done the Edale skyline route which was pretty ok underfoot (apart from the bogs:)).

If it's not too bad, might come and give this a go. Never been up on the Kinder plateau at all before.
