I'm in.
Haven't run further than 6 miles since Tanky's. Better dig out the shoes.
Can't wait :D
I'll be travelling up for this on the Saturday; looking forward to it already.
Cheers - Raymond
Well, I'm in, I'm fairly confident I can make the cut off but there'll be some hard training and reccying between now and then.
Can't wait for this.

I ordered one straight after reading your post - reccying opportunities will be limited - and I've received the map already.
Very nice work - I haven't had a detailled look but very impressed with the fast delivery and it certainly looks good.
Thanks!
Woohoo,Im in:D Guess its time to get some serious training in then:o
I'm in but OH NO i've just realised I'll be skiing, so no kitcheck or Skyline for me this year, I'll just have to wait another year to do it justice...:mad:Quote:

The Skyline is now full.
If you have entered and have not received confirmation you will do so within the next few days.

I vaguely remember that last year, the kit requirement was downgraded on the day, from 'waterproof' to 'windproof', because of the settled good weather.
I don't want to start one of those tedious mandatory equipment threads (especially since i remember you lot getting all that cr@p last year!) but i just wondered if that might happen this year?
Will it be worth bringing the pertex top as well, just in case??
Yes:DQuote:

Recced the route on Saturday and despite having done this race 3 times before (1: fog, 2: blizzard, 3: Followed the local vest), I am still not sure of the best line from Jacob's Ladder to Grindslow Knoll.
Big question though, is who's tempted to try the down and up from Grindslow to Ringing Roger? :)

Unless your initials are LT don't even consider it.;)
Its quicker running round for the mere mortials:eek:
Ive done it and im sure it could be quicker if the correct line is usedQuote:

Had a trot around the route yesterday - it was fantastic! Thick fog and 3deg. when I left Edale, within 10 minutes of the climb towards Ringing Roger I broke out of the cloud into beautiful warm sunshine. In and out of the cloud then until Rushup Edge when it cleared completely.

Tosser.
Balin, presumably you were signing your comment 'tosser'?
Remember also you buggers not to stash drinks in my favourite hideyhole tree.
You know where it is and you can bugger off
Its mine
And ive boobeytrapped it:confused:
I Have informed the organiser that i'm not running,and if you had read the website you would have noticed that it said there are no substitutions as more runners were allowed to enter,maybe you should have entered on time,you ****witQuote:

I'd say the best thing is, if that is going to be your reason for not doing the race then don't broadcast it on here cos it's bound to get folks back up.
