Two or three years ago, on this very event, I suffered the humiliating experience of being overtaken by a walker.
While I was running.


Downhill.

I entered today. Looking forward to a dripping sarnie or two :p

Me too on both counts. Mmmm, oozing with dripping but not dripping with ooze. :wink: Set out a bit lean and mean so you've got room to really appreciate it.

Anyone fancy a midweek recce of the course. Done it before but can't remember a few parts!

I'm in....good to see all the usual suspects have already entered. Looking forward to the hospitality, less so the actual running bit in between.

Keep hearing good things about this one, finally got an entry in before its full I think. Events from this area are always a good challenge!

Just entered myself, 4th time. A few of us did about three quarters of the course this morning just to remind ourselves how tough it is.

This was always a great one to burn off the excesses of Christmas (when it used to be the first event of the year). Since it moved out a couple of weeks, it still was not one to be missed. I've never missed one. I will be there.

Many forumites doing this tomorrow? Looks like not a bad day for it. Might be quite hard underfoot early on.

Anticipating all that lovely food at checkpoint 3 already.
