Err, no, a pretend hamster....in a Holmfirth Harriers vest. :p
I'll be marshalling at checkpoint 4/11 so do say Hallo. Will have jelly babies / bananas available - save me a piece of cake at the finish.
Hope it is a clear day to be standing around "encouraging" everybody.
See you all on Saturday.

Mudlugger et al - I presume you will be wanting the jelly babies the 2nd time you'll see me (checkpoint 11) & not at checkpoint 4...;)
Probably at 11, but you know, if you're offering, I can never resist those cute little colourful bundles of sugar:p , wow, I've even found the little face inserter now. I wish fell running was as easy as this eh.Quote:

http://yelims1.free.fr/Animaux/Animaux37.gif I think I am going to come along on saturday too! - need to double check weather forecast and put entry in tomorrow. there's nothing quite like a 4 hour run to keep you out of the pub on a friday night i find!
whats that cat doing ?
Hello Daleside,I don't want to be kept out of the pub on Friday night, I'm going to the Otley beer festival :D
Doing the West Yorks X/C on Saturday at York,its an afternoon kick off though so I should be ok.
Come along if you change your mind about doing Pendle ( To the beer festival I mean ! ;) )
Dont quote me on this but you may have to pay on the day now, I think the deadline was the 10 nov?Quote:

Cheers everyone - I'm hoping to go to the otley festival on sat night actually - will you be going along then too LR?
Yes i checked the website and the organiser wants entries by 15 nov - so if they dont arrive I can always head over to york and do those awful cross countrys!!
and I'll let you beat me for a tenner swoop!
Is that cat still there???
I'll be in Darwen Saturday night. Hopefully Jamie and a few Dashers might be in the Black Hole.Quote:

Weather forecast for Saturday is 9 degrees plus 3mm of rain. That doesn't sound very wet to me. Wot no hail?:D
That'll do me. Should be worth 10 minutes on last year's times. I'll settle for 3.45.Quote:

I'll probably watch the Scotland game in Wales and hope that the Russians do the English a favour.
B&B booked and everything, she is one lucky gal you know
No problem Jamie. I'll pace you up Big End but then you're on your own.:DQuote:

I think I'm staying in on Sat.night,got to wash my hair !
Did you have a good night in Tod.after Shepherds Skyline ? we certainly did,I never actually made it back to Leeds:D
Hope its a crisp morning like today it will be crunchy underfoot and not a ski slope of mud.
Looking forward to it now.
So am i pal, what time would you be happy with? for me i would be abso overjoyed to knock 15 mins off last year, that was 3.47 so keep an eye open for me at the end when i come in. :eek:Quote:

3.25 two years ago, hope I beat that.
No idea on time - getting up that last hill without dying would be a bonus:o
hoping NOT to repeat the same finish as the half tour!!:o
but you looked so gracefull as you attempted that triple salko (sp?), double toe loop back flip all at once........:p
The whole race is going to be a mystery trip for me - I did 3:13 on the Langdale Horseshoe last month which is less miles but with more severe hills I suspect - the winning time of Langdale was 2:14 this year which is ballpark the Pendle winning time. Therefore I'll do Pendle in 3:13.............. not.
