Now then all you folks wandering about clogs. Look, this race puts a premium on speed and grip on both rock, shale and steep mad downill grass/mud. So forget the road bit, you need the best sort of grip you can get on a very low and lightweight shoe. Walshes are hard to beat in this combination of requirements...and they might as well be new. After all, this is the Wimbledon Final, the FA Cup final, the Rugby Grand Slam of British Fell Racing. If ya cannae git noo shooes fer that one, when can ye??

From MWIS http://www.mwis.org.uk/mountain/WH.PDF:

PLANNING OUTLOOK: all mountain areas of Britain
A very deep low will approach western Britain on Friday, pushing strong winds and heavy rain to many areas – although this may be very slow to move into Scotland. Most likely widespread showers over the weekend; although a minority of charts from major forecast centres indicate that Scotland will have a largely dry weekend with east winds.

See, it's going to be perfect weather (my underlining):D
