anyone know when entries will be confirmed?
I will be coming from Heysham, so have to come up from Lancaster.
You can camp on the carparking field next to the start field.Quote:

Mine too, done Duddon twice and loved it, never done Borrowdale, distance, climb similair, anyone done both and can compare, i suspect, from people's times, that Borrowdale is a tad tougher?Quote:

Erm.... I don't live on an island (though some think Macclesfield is:rolleyes:)
Does my lack of acceptance mean I have had my chips?:eek::eek:
What is the policy on name changes if I can find a number?
If all else fails, I have got two nights at the Sca Fell hotel going for a very reaonable rate!!!
im in :-)
Given that there are minimum experience entry requirements, running under someone else's name is likely to result in you being nailed to the top of one of the posts in the marquee if Scoffer finds out!Quote:

Having done the race the last 3 consecutive years I am just a little keen to continue my patronage of this excellent event. Thanks.
"If you are unable to compete in the race, subject to demonstrating appropriate experience, another runner may take your place in the Race. In that case a Substitution form must be completed at race registration"
Just taken that from my conf letter. :)
I 'begged' a sub last year via Club web-site. Exchanged emails and then sent a cheque. Received form and filled in sub details citing experience. Presented form at registration. No worries.
Still hoping that I've got in:confused:
My apologies :o!Quote:

5 Styhead (stretcher box) 219095 *NEW*
6 Honister Hause 225135
7 Dalehead summit 223154
Presumably the checkpoints have to be visited in that order. I could understand it if the NEW checkpoint was between Scafell Pike and Great Gable. Anybody got any further information?
this one looks right...Quote:

Check out the FRA Calendar online - Borrowdale isn't listed unless I'm being numb.
I take it that it is definitely the 1st August?
YES because i have a reply to my entry saying I am in,rules etc etc
My sentiments exactly!;)Quote:

Can someone please confirm that the 'new' route is significantly longer than the old one. Either that or everyone's just a lot slower than they used to be (including Simon Booth...)
I've asked this question before only to be met with a wall of silence, almost as if no one dare imply that Billy wasn't that much better than all the runners of today. Come on I'm just interested how times compare to years of yore, the new route to BB has to be 5 mins longer. (?)
