I can't as I'm away this year. Pity because it's a great race.
I've put an accommodation tip in answer to your Q on the race thread. Have fun!

Second time was by a massive alsatian. This one was quite young and wanted to play, but I was on mile 13, running uphill - I didn't want to play, especially as "play" seemed to involve this thin g chucking itself at me! I'd shouted "hello" a very long way in advance to give the owner plenty of time to control it, but she didn't bother. Unlike the previous episode I didn't make any threats as a) it wasn't a silly poodle b) it wasn't actually trying to eat me and c) she was very attractive!!! Shallow, moi?
:D at C
A whippet got me by proxy..
Me and my partner where out walking on Ilkley moor, on the final leg, we where coming down a nice grassy slope.. A whippet came charging by. Inspired I decided to leg it down the hill, leaving my partner behind. 50 meters or so I went flying forward, smashed my shin then landed flat on my arse. My partner and the dog owner found it very amusing.. First time I'd ran for 3 weeks due to injury!
Hopefully I won't repeat this for the race...
Trip to the Lakes cancelled so it was an hour and a half round Dallam Park and Beetham Fell with the puppy. Home for dinner then a sleep by the fire (her not me:D)
First run in the snow with the pooch, we both loved it
Brilliant:D
