what constitutes experience of strenuous winter conditions?? I looked at the entry form but it won't let me go to the 2nd page unless all the details are complete - are there qualifying races etc??

Err you have to know a handsome fellrunner who has done it before

Any news on entries yet people? closed 30th Nov, when did people get told last year.

And yes i am keen!

I've got the general gist of the route but does anyone know of a link to a page with a map on so we can start getting the crucial sections recce'd?

Thanks

Just received an email from the organisers. :(

Anyone short of a runner yet?

Just got in - got to keep the team together now. I've always got in as a replacement before!

Our team were invited in at 10 days notice for this year's race, so we weren't very well prepared, and there wasn't much opportunity for last minute reccies. One year it would be nice to get in from the outset, and be ready for it.

I think I'll assume that there's a good chance of a run this time and prepare anyway.

The email just arrived - we're in!

Don't panic, don't panic, don't panic, breathe deeply...

team pie are in baby!!!

excellent!!!!!......now let the reality of this kick in.....Oh s*%t this may be a bit on the challenging side!

:D:D:D:D:

No sheep till Buxton have got a place. Dead chuffed !!

Our team hasn't got in............gutted:(. Really enjoyed last year's and was looking forward to doing it again this year.
