Another fine day out, Brett.
Say thanks to all the marshalls.
You did but I didn't let you in on the secret (on the way to the first CP)Quote:

Thanks for another great event Brett. Superb organisation and food along the way. I always look forward to the Jammy donuts and mug of tea at Mankinholes.
Yes, a big 'thank you' to Brett and all the marshalls and helpers who made it a great day out.
The course was fun, the food was excellent and all the marshalls were full of encouragement (even the comedian in the van at the last checkpoint who asked if we were walkers!)
Cheers all :)
That was a great day out with really nice people superb route and weather to match, and yes thank you Brett and team your efforts are greatly appreciated.
What a cracking race. :)
I think one of the best in the calender. Loads of thanks to Brett and the team for putting it on. In particular big thanks to the marshalls and the superb staff at the start/finish.
I agree about those jammy doughnuts at Makinholes - just the fuel you need.
See you next year.
The Joker, and yes Batman got away this time....damnations.
And he beat that young whippersnapper "Robin" Ha!::DQuote:

Or sould it be at night without headtorches??
Any thoughts on which race/terrain to stage this duel for honour?:rolleyes:
Big hand to Adam!
I know he aint a vet 40 or whatever it says, he only a young whipper-snapper like myself, but to win by half an hour is just laughing!
Good on ya.
Whoops, Adam took over the number of a CVFR who had to drop out and so never filled in a form!
Amended now! (Will be shortly!)

15th March 2008
Entry forms available after Christmas here
Is it after Christmas yet? :D
Not quite!
Don't tell me it's cos you're too busy training for these long LDWA events?!!!
Errrr.. no, been on holiday!
I see the FRA calander has it back to 33 miles from Haworth Community Centre! Runfurther are still showing it as a short race at 31 for 2008, but presumbably the extra 2 miles will now push it into being a medium counter.
My GPS / Tracklogs gave it as 29.2 miles last year. So if it is 2 miles longer, it would still be short in the Montrail series.
In reality there is some sort of overlap between some of the races in terms of difficulty. The Marlborough Downs Challenge is officially a medium, but it's quicker than some of the shorts.
There were some pretty grim conditions out on the Wuthering Hike course last weekend. I don't think I've been out in nastier conditions than that for 10 years.
Think it's where the Brontes got their dreary inspiration from isn't it?
It's a top race. **&$£ the brontes.Quote:

I'm not complaining :D , but was just wondering what "... very, very soon" actually means Brett!!!
mañana - but without the sense of urgency
Indeed. It's only 58 days to go and I've nothing else to do in the meantime :D
I heard entries had open and filled up in a couple of hours. That's wot I heard anyway.... ;)
You haven't gone & entered hundreds of times under your pseudonyms have you Dom? Reckon if I buy Brett a beer he'll let me on the reserve list? Reckon I'll buy him one anyway - that's just made me think. Will that speed up the process or slow it down? Do you think he could swing a beer a week as sort of bribery to get the form out? :eek:Quote:

Thanks Brett. Completed form is in the post ....
Does anyone know if entries are limited and if so, whether I need to get mine in straight away?
I remember those mixed showers:rolleyes:Quote:
