Assent from Lou and with encouragement from a number of mates, so time to get this BG thing put to bed... simples:wink:

Lots of prep to do (I'm not a natural whippet) and competing demands on time from family and work, but shall do my best and most importantly, enjoy the process:thumbup:

As for training, I have says off in the week to train; have a 5 mile / 1000' lactate fest on my doorstep (as fundamentally, I am slow / steady and need to work on a basic level of lactate tolerance); a 15 mile / 3700' intermediate route straight out of the front door and can extend this to 30 miles and about 7-8,000' with yet more scenic terrain. I am lucky living where I do. It's just a matter of finding the time to do it all.

£5.50 for that little hop on the bus seems pricey!

Great news. You've seen enough of the challenge to know what is involved. Good luck with the training! :cool:

I was going to assemble an e-mail group to co-ordinate recces... I know that not everyone'll make a recce but shall I put you and Stef on it?

Wish me luck!

Seeing as we're committing to dates .... 8th June 2012 for me. I was considering an earlier attempt, but this fits best. If there's any going spare, I'll have a bit of that luck too ...... :)

I've sent you a pm :)

I wish I hadn't started this thread as I'm now feeling inadequate and hopeless at my lack of recce's!!...must try harder!!? :o

I am free to do a recce next Thurs - 3rd Nov. Was thinking of leg 1, leg 1 and 2 (if have got 2 cars) or Gt Gable to Keswick. Anyone free?

lantern - I've PM'd you...

There may be a few from Macc having a trip up to the Lakes next Thursday, will put it on the forum

I have a relaxed aspiration to have a go at the BG next year. I have ran with Macclesfield Harriers on a couple of the Wednesday night runs recently, dont think we have met? Would be good to join in the trip next Thursday if possible?
