I took the plunge and posted my entry off yesterday. I have to admit that part of my motivation was a determination not to miss out on the first running of a new event *again*. I've run the second Loch Ness Marathon, the second Devil O' the Highlands and the second Highland Fling. This time I want to be able to say that I've run the first! :D

This could make it very interesting. Should I be thinking about some of these?

Wanted to get my entry sorted for this today but delayed by lack of a chequebook :( Not sure what bank is upto. Don't suppose it will fill up, only about a dozen entries when I last looked.

Likewise RF, will be fun, though I hope I'm not last :eek:.... scratch that selfishness, who cares, any 55 miles is a victory.

As you say i hope the weather stays.

If it doe`s i will be tempted to bring the X/C Ski`s across as i have not seen anything in the rules to say i can`t;) and i reckon it still counts as self perambulation:D.

Too right, you can always hit him with them if he doesnt let you :D
Im tempted to take poles if its simillar conditions to now (only ever used them in the TMB) cant see anything in the rules disallowing them:confused:;)

Did a bit of a route recce, still snow up on the Cleveland way. Anyone else been out on the route recently?
