Congrats. Was it in your post today thursday? I left before postie arrived so am stioll biting my nails:confused:
If I don't make it, I might have to sell my room at the ScaFell Hotel:(

Don't rub it in:o

I haven't had anything by post but my name's on there!
Hurrah! Can't find anyone slower than me though.
See you all there folks.......:D:D
Have to start training now:rolleyes:
I'm in :D
Just need to sort my frigging knee out.
IN so just need to survive Ennerdale now

I'm devastated - my name's not on the list:( Can't understand why - perhaps I'm just too slow! Did they have to cut off on previous times? Anyone got in with a time more than 4.30 (for the full length version rather than last year's!)
Oh yes. Way, way more. Even last year...
When did you post your entry?
ditto, just been looking at route... argh! See you saturday.Quote:

I've still not received owt from postie so viewing the on-line list was a heart in mouth moment! It took me back to reading exam result boards at school. I am in so can stop scowling at postie when he does not deliver! :) Feel for those not listed :(
I missed the Saturday post on the day the forms went online so took my form to a main post office which had a collection Sunday midday. Sounds as if your entry needed to have arrived on the Monday or Tuesday at latest.Quote:

Errr.. I'm in :eek:

enjoy...:D
I'm in !! :D and believe me my time was way over 4.30 last time I did it in 2004.
Must be my good times at Holme Moss,Three Peaks,Mourne Peaks that clinched it :D then again probably not:o
When I'm slogging my way up Great Gable I'll probably regret being accepted :(
Apparently 500 qualifying entries were in by the Tuesday so I was just too late!
If anyone out there has got in and finds out they can't make it I'd be more than happy to take their number (and the pain of Dale Head :D) off their hands (feet!)
Any one got accepted for the Borrowdale Race and cannot do it for any reason would like to substitute there place. I have done the race for the last 3 years and completed all the lakeland classic races in 2006 2007 and would like to complete them all again this year, but have not been succesful in getting in.:mad:
That seems a bit harsh for someone who's supported the Classics Trophy. Hope you get in........I'm sure someone'll have a place up for grabs.
I agree.
Only 12 runners did all 6 races last year and 8 in 2006.
It is so tough (DV, Ennerdale and Wasdale + the other 3!) we have always given a mug to the highest scorer and in 2008 will do the same for women.
Thanks Graham and Goosefat for your support, and just to tell you someone has kindly given me there place:DQuote:

Ideally I'd like to find out sooner rather than later so I can get some appropriately long training runs in before August - not many weeks to go now to fit them in!
yours hopefully and thanks in advance!
You could always do the training anyway, and then if you don't get a number just pop up the day before and run it?
Might even be a nicer run...
I suspect I probably will end up doing that (though I'd rather save my legs for a few races planned in July if I know I can't do Borrowdale anyway...).... it also needs a bit of planning in advance - it's a 600 mile round trip from here so needs transport sorted and grandparents about to help with the kids!Quote:

Surely someone out there with a number is getting cold feet!!
Hi,
Have sent you a PM. Clubmate of mine is now injured and has spare entry.
Cheers:)
I've been given a few leads, but no firm offers of a number as yet!
If anyone has found out this weekend they can't run the race please bear me in mind! :)
cheers
stumpy...
Stumpy don't get your hopes up too much but, unless my knee recovers in the next 10 days, my place will be going. Obviously I'm praying for a recovery but at least you'll have a back marker if nothing else comes up.
Has anyone got a room booked at the hotel that they dont need (for one reason or another)

Hopefully your knee will get better anyway and I'll see you there!
