Sign up for XOTF instead :thumbup: The run's free, all you need is your beer and curry money :w00t:

Very different. The TdH is almost entirely on good paths, so little navigational effort needed, and much more running. Which is probably why I found the HPM easier :)

Thanks for that. I think I would be the same.

Don't be soft! I'll buy you a pint in the Queens Head in Askham at the end... there's not may pints taste as good as one you've run 38 miles for.

I always find the fifth or six pint at XOTF tastes rather good. And all you have to do to earn it is a gentle stroll up Keswick market-place from Lakeland Spice to the Dog and Gun past the Moot Hall :closed:

Pics from last years event can be found here

Hope to see you there and maybe the kit check will be more stringent. Please bring a survival bag not blanket.

Cheers

Good man. I might throw in a packet of peanuts if you're lucky.

That's it. I've signed up too.
