Me too, if anyone has a spare entry, please phone or text me on 079 1717 6969.
Nee, the dance in the tents is pretty good as is the steel band.
we are camping again on the night and not far to stagger. I think most of the NFR lot camped last year, made for a canny party!
Cheers Phil, we are in the lakes for the week leading up to the race, me & Mrs Bother gonna lay a trail of Jelly Babies every 100 mtrs and drinks bottle every mile so route finding will be a doddle:D
Which site will you be on, there was loads of discussion on here last year about this?
nee...this is surely the highlight of the fell running calendar......was possibly THE night of year 2007.....what I can remember!!
Ahl see you there then.......will wear me best hat:DQuote:

Nee we'll be on the 2 quid a night race site for the night in a pup tent, but the mothership tent ( kids n grandparents) will be at the C+C club site in keswick.
Any idea when this is likely to be taking place?
Also what would be good races to enter prior to this as part of training for it?
Thanks.
It will be the beginning of August probably. As for fell races before, I'd recommend the 3 Shires (September?), the Langdale Horseshoe (October?), the Full Tour Of Pendle (November) and Edale (next March). Oh and the 3 Peaks next April if you can get in. Almost certainly you will need to have run a couple of races like that to be accepted for the race.
I'd also recommend going up Great Gable and running like a lunatic down to Honiston a few times.
It will more than likely be the 1st of August....it's usually the first saturday in the monthQuote:

Holiday has arisen. Gutted to miss this to be honest, and certainly the night DO!!!!
Ill have it goldie, bring it with you to ingleborough on saturday:):):)
Yes no problem who the hell is yorkshire pudding!!
im the one you barged out of the way to drool over that female posterior up whernside in the 3 peaks:eek::eek::rolleyes::D
Think i get you, local race for you on Sat then if im right yeah:)
Legs are battered at mo from Alva on Sat
Well there's no way I'll be able to run :( - pm me if anyone's interested in my race number.
stolly..........sorry to hear that but CHECK YOUR MAIL!!!
I'm another who did not get an entry. On holiday at the vital time. Did Borrowdale Lite last year but would like the full experience (I think!?!). I'll be on holiday in the Lakes at the time so it would be a shame not to run. Does anyone know of any unwanted entries?
spare entries seem like hens teeth, few and far between (as me granda used to say)
What are the camping arrangements for Borrowdale?
Don't know about others but for me it is Honister Hause YHA, a good kip and a big breakfast before IT begins...
Or there is a chance my sister and brother inlaw will be over in their monster camper van so we might all be in this somewhere, which would be much more fun and allow some post race partying.

There is the Chapel Stile camp site a little further on from Rosthwaite but also the fields behind the start and in fact the start field also were open for camping. I'm assuming it will be the same this year??Quote:
