Yes- marshalling is a bit of a problem. Can we expect to see a hare on the course this year then?

I'd love to Pav but unfortunately I'll be pounding the streets of our glorious capital city for 26.2 miles (first and last time, I might add) in late April and so might fancy a bit of a break afterwards.
Never say never though...got a nice, warm handshake from the Mayor of Worthing last year who turned up in all his finery which really made my day:)

Thanks GeoffB - is that what's called a baptism of fire...or should that be snow, sleet, hail and gales? I stuck at it though and made it round in just about one piece; so thanks for the suggestion...it was 4 and 1/2 hours I'll never forget.
So what should I do next?

Got to be Duddon Valley June 2nd. You never know, the weather might be better than Edale?
Second thoughts, Lake District? June? Good weather? No chance:D

Not guaranteed good, but surely a fair chance of being better than last Sunday?:confused:

Re: Advice on first race.
Do Rivington Pike - it's shorter than the walk from the parking field to Edale Village Hall!
