Would love to do this, but away training, so next year for sure.
Though there's plenty I haven't done, I think this is one the greatest of races. It's a true long-distance fell race with a bit of everything. I've done it twice and been disappointed with my time and placing twice, due to some navigational incompetence on my part. Last year, I screwed up the contouring round from the saddle north of High Raise to Stakes Pass. The year before, some time lost due to nav. mistakes, too.
If I achieve nothing else this year, I'd love to make good time in the OCT. Sliding back into Langdale, having come off Coniston, in the late afternoon is such a pleasure.
for those with experience of these things: is two weeks enough to recover from the Fellsman to be fit for this?
Both leading up to BG sounds a lot to me Zed! :eek: Don't get distracted or worn out if the BG is your real focusQuote:

yes you're right: there are BG attempts in May that I might be supporting on, so ...Quote:
