When I said too warm, I meant that I would usually wear a normal Helly if it's chilly and then add a jacket or a gillet if it was colder. I recce'd 2nd half a few weeks ago in a Helly with a montane featherlite windproof over the top and it was fine, even though my eyelashes and buff froze on the top near Jacobs ladder!

Clearly weren't there last year! ;) I was begging for some kind of breeze! Still hoping the weather will lean that way by the weekend (but not quite as hot!)

I didn't do it last year but this is me (and Hazzer) running the Blakey Blitz on the same day :). I doubt I will be dressing similarly at the Skyline!

Long term forecast is for some cold wet(snowy weather) with 20mph winds(sorry 30KPH) Kit check will be thorough and "may" involve extra kit so bring extra just incase.we'll post an update nearer the time.

Please allow extra time for getting there, car parking, kitcheck and registration. This will be the biggest field ever for the skyline,so don't turn up with minutes to spare......

I may have missed this but can anyone advise the final date for giving up an entry and passing it over to someone else. I had to miss Wolfs Pit yesterday as I have just picked up a calf strain. Edale could now be in jeopardy but I dont want to make a final decision until at least Thursday if possible. I do have a friend who would like my entry if I dont run?

After discussion with Martin Stone, who is managing the SI side of things, midnight Wednsday is the last chance to swap entries.

Yesterday there was still snow lying about, but the tracks will be much slidier than last year, I reckon that could add on 20 minutes to last years times :o

Ya I was up on the Hayfield side of kinder yesterday and the melting snow is making the paths very wet and slippy. The second half will be challanging.
