Has anyone else pre entered? If so where did you find the entry form?

You can download a universal entry form on the race page and use that.

Cheers Steve, wasn't sure if that would be accepted. Getting an entry has been nearly as hard as the race this year :w00t:

I am thinking along the same lines as yourself, but who are you going to post your entry to?

many doubling up after Weasdale? Good OMM prep!

Maybe. Of course anyone wanting to recce both (except the bit over private land on the Weasdale) could do a big figure-of-eight loop from Newbiggin or Sedbergh... Anyone?

Anybody on here doing the above tomorrow? Bit last minute but my mate has rang me and said are we going, to which I said yes, :confused: despite being quite knacked from yesterday’s 20 miler, the second this week. Still I will just take a steady run round.

Yep will give this one a go. Same for me a steady run round. Weather could be interesting...

It's a fairly stout undertaking and the forecast isn't brilliant either. Don't get tricked into going off too fast by the easy running between CPs 2 and 3, 3-4 will be murder if your legs go on you and nav will be tricky if the clag is down. Needless to say i won't be there, i did it in 2009 and i'm still trying to get rid of the knee problem i got for my trouble. Have fun though, and wear Mudclaws.

Good advice MB - I use this as a training run. Lures you in to a false sense of security and even knowing that I still haven't enjoyed the descent to CP4. The 'direct' descent off Winder is great... if you have any strength left.

Would add that I found 212s were perfect for running it last week BUT the Howgill Buzzard was out in force near Castley (CP2). 10 mins of ducking and being - let's be polite - downright concerned that I would have to change my underwear before the finish - but at least tomorrow there'll be safety in numbers. The trod that skirts around Calders summit has slipped a little during the last month's rainfall but is still one of my favourite paths, but not as easy to find once the clag sets in...

Watch out for the Buzzard on the South side of Castley Knotts :D
