Rollerblader,
One of our team said he was recceing on Sunday, not sure if he made it or not. I was supposed to be there but currently out of action.

I don't know the name of the teams but two Penistone guys(Jonh R and Mark P) did the Cutgate to William Clough leg then dropped in to Hayfield and met up for a lift home after the trialQuote:

I'm out. Arm is still broken after 13 days, the doc seemed suprised whenI asked has it healed? :-)
Bad news may have cast for 8 weeks, but its now a half cast. Anyway decided not too do the HPM, if its frozen I'll be in trouble, and will struggle climbing in and out of peat hags.
Thats a shame Iain but if you will do these silly sports;) Will you becoming up to support Sarah and Rob? any news on the pictures?Quote:

athough I thought the wind was in are face most of the way round.
Ahh sorry about that she emailed it through a few days after. She was wondering why you hadn't replied, that explains it! :-)
Anyway, my next aim is to be ok for edale skyline.
What's the position on car support for this?
I'm not running now so was considering driving around and waiting at the road crossings with food and water?
Is this allowed?
I know there's only a few road crossings anyway, but I'll be in the area so thought I may as well go along?
Cheers
Iain
I've just had a look at the rules they sent out - rule 4 states no supporters or pacers.
My wife was asking if she could meet up with me on route - I'll have to ask her not too - I don't want to get the team disqualifyed after 30 miles!

I have been at Moscar and Snake summit on 2 occassions when not competing.Quote:

I would guess a lot of teams have contact somewhere on the route with aquaintances.
If I am not called on to slot into a last minute injury place :eek: , I will be at Moscar and Snake again this year. (Sad b*****d, can't keep away:confused: )

Reccied the route over two days last week. Its alot dryer than last year. Still managed to cock up on Bleaklow in daylight and clear conditions.
It has gone very quite on here. Is it nerves or is everyone out reccying?
Our team did part of the hard section last Saturday from Margery Hill to Bleaklow Head – with a strong head wind most of the way. It seemed much drier than last year – could make for some quick times…
That was dry!!!!????
My wifes out now as well, with a bout patella tendonitus. Never entering this race again as all it has done is cause injuries! :-)
Nerves.
I backed out as soon as I was accepted and I'm running really well!
Famous last words.
I keep thinking that I should step in for someone else.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
All this talk of reccying is getting me worried. We've just got an entry as a result of another team dropping out, but it looks is if only one of our team can get out for any reccies before Friday week. Never mind, it will make it more interesting. Whooppee, can't wait!
Aye it's either that or the broken bone in my arm... TBH if it was a solo event I'd probably still do it, but as a team event I'm too worried about slowinmg everyone down, the chance of falling is quite high in the groughs, especially if its frozen.Quote:

incidentally if we are called the nuns from chinley which number nun am i ???
That's great news to hear that you guys have got in.Quote:

By the way, why do nuns always go around in pairs?
So that 1 nun can make sure the other nun gets none.
Which nun would you like to be? You're definitely one of the Pennun members of the team. You could be Nun 0 which would make you Pennun Nun None, wouldn't it?Quote:

Well..... Watershed Weather has set in?....?
AND
Blimey..... it's a bit (VERY) blimmin rough up & out there tonight :D ....
Even I might like something a bit kinder next Friday Nite & Saturday Morn!!!
(never mind Earthquakes the Shacks' really rattlin & shakin now :eek: )
What about the weather today Luv-Shack? Sun and a light dust of snow- perfect! Its look beautiful up there from here, what about from your side? I was a bit concerned myself this weekend, not worried about you lot but the checkpointers-they might go on strike! I've been through the forum- thanks to Luv-Shack and others for answering queries. Re support the spirit of the event is to be a self supporting 'expedition' out in the wilds etc- we're not going to disqualify anyone over it but don't give out food parcels, clothes etc And if we start to get chaotic queues of cars at each road crossing we'll be upset- ok? See you all Friday
Rich,
It's looking fab this side of the Watershed today..... Kinder is in top condition, Downfall running crystal clear, with its icy plume riding high in the sky...
(Sadly can't see it lasting until Sat pm...... but, you never know!)
See you Friday :eek:
Yes, I can confirm that the whole of Kinder was in tip-top condition today, having just spent 8 hours going around, up & down most of it (Kinder Killer it's called, and now I know why!!)
That was my final training run for Friday/Saturday - just need lots of rest & plenty of food between now & then.
See you all on Friday.
is any team short of female - never done it but know all about it - not a very fast runner but have stamina - done fellmans and 4 inns
Alison, I have sent you a message r.e. the HPM.
Thanks,
Alastair
We are struggling to fill one of our spaces after someone has dropped out. We are waiting to hear back from one last sub and I'm starting to feel a tad twitchy.
Are there any superheroes who could step in if our last hope falls through?
where have you stashed my food geoff ?????:rolleyes:Quote:
