Anyone received their tally yet? Just seen something on that "other social networking" site?
Yes, almost in mint condition....so many holes left to punch. :o
not yet but sounds imminent.........
I got mine back a couple of days ago. It's like a doily. :p
Talking of those tallies, I remember earlier on in the event in the sunshine, seeing what looked like occasional camera flashes emanating from runners far ahead. Although it was far too far away for me to see (we're talking a mile or more) I assumed it was their tallies blowing wildly in the wind and occasionally reflecting the sunlight straight back at me.
It certainly would not have been mine - for starters I was not far ahead of very many but more importantly I kept my tally secure inside my top to stop in annoying me by blowing around and also so it did not blow away - unlike someone who lost theirs and was DQ'd.Quote:

Does the Harvey/BMC Mountain Map of the Dales cover the whole route or does it miss the Gragareth section?
Ta P
It misses Gragareth
Be careful; ultra running is highly addictive :closed:Quote:

I was planning a BG attempt next year but my mate who has completed the BG fancied doing the Paddy Buckley, so we might be heading to Wales for a change.
Just to add a bit of variety to my training and a fresh focus, I am going to have a crack at triathlons next year, once I have mastered the art of front crawl.
Does any one know what the score is for entries to the Fellsman for 2013? Can't find any info on the website, in fact on most pages I just get a string of errors! Contemplating having a crack at this and wondering if i've already missed out, whether I need to be quick as a shot when they eventually do open, or whether it's a relaxed affair which doesn't fill up too quickly.
Any wisdom appreciated.

I hope you've not missed out, or I will have too! When I did it in 2010 I don't recall there being a big rush for places. Might have got more popular since though.
You won't have missed out don't worry :)Quote:

Entires open on 1st January. There was a bit of publicity last month when there was a very positive article in Runner'sWorld about it, so I'm not going to hang about with my entry.
Simon, me and Helen are having a go next year too - I'll be in there on 1st Jan. Mark R (Protodoc) and myself are planning to do it as a pair, he's using it as a build-up to his BGR in June. Helen and Emma D are doing it together also, Em has done the Fellsman before so she's in good hands. I expect they'll clobber us :)Quote:

I'm having a run out this year with my mate Dave C
Don't know. just don't know.:confused:
Well, it's either the Fellsman or the Woldsman :)
Woldsman makes sense.
Fellsman is Unfinished Business...
Do it !! That's what you're wanting to hear, surely ?

Entries usually start first week in January from memory.
Three of us went for a longish run, about 60 miles, starting 8.00pm Wednesday night last week from Ingleton area and stopping in the Grassington area 19 hours later at about 3.00pm Thursday, beginning with Ingleborough and finishing with Buckden Pike and Great Whernside with some other hills in between. Had to carry lots of food and water bottles had to be carried next to skin to keep liquid.
It was cold and a bit windy, but fun.
Now what's this Fellsman thing people keep talking about?
Fellsman 2013 entry form now available to download on the fellsman web site. Apparently postal entries will be accepted from 1st January 2013 with on-line entries open from 14th January 2013. See also the fellsman f/b page
Hi Brian,
Where is the info re not sending your entry prior to 1/1/2013? I can't seem to find it anywhere, thanks
