Do what I do Chris ~ The Ben one year, Grisedale the next. That way you can do one and look forward to the other next year at the same time.

Grisedale is the better race, but the Ben in the better weekend.

Grisedale for me this year:)

You went for the better weather option in 2008!!

I'd quite like to alternate the Ben and Grisedale but unfortunately I cant afford to miss any Bens if I'm going to get a plaque before I'm 65. (Still quite a long way to go though and assuming I keep managing to get in). I did Grisedale a few times before I started going up for the Ben regularly, Grisedale is a really great race right up to the moment of the final climb!

I know it's early days but does anybody know when you find out if your in or not? Entered earlier this week and I'm a Ben virgin!

keep checking here I guess :confused::(

A list is posted on the race website pretty soon, listed in club order. Fairly sure we found out by Feb last time as I remember phoning for accomodation very early.

I notice it says the 2009 list is fully subscibed and that there are substantial numbers on the waiting list :eek:

hope you've all got everything crossed
