I shall not rise to the bait. I wonder if there will be a ceilidh, can't seem to find anything about that now. On the FRA race page it says "live music"

Cheeky G..! ;) Better get me excuse in early. Ive been out with a calf injury for the last two weeks and had to miss the Edale skyline last week, so suppose you could be right.

Typical just when things were looking up. oh well back to the drawing board

I've just received my confirmation by post (not looked at the website) which states "NO ENTRIES OR SUBSTITUTIONS ON THE DAY" so I'd beware of that.

I just hope that all who decide not to run for whatever reason (may well be me included!) tell someone else and give them the opportunity. A reduced field may make for a more environmentally friendly and less congested field but to me filling the entries in 3 days is just ludicrous.

Fair enough if you want to run that badly you send your entry off as soon as they open, however suppose 1000 people all did that on 1st March? Your chances of getting in would boil down to a lottery of whose postal workers were the most efficient! Good for the sport that it's so popular but this could get silly.

That first climb is going to be a tight squeeze!
