Comiserations MT, i think it's rained continuously for 6 days now. Might see you there at some stage, i'm thinking of chucking a tent and stuff into the car just in case i feel like getting pissed up.Quote:

What's Bingly's team like? The Brownlees? If they are in I'd be tempted to back them..
Graham Gristwood is the nav guy.
I say Wharfedale for the win.
Sale's A team is looking quite strong too.
Bingley had a lot of their top guys last year and didn't win.Quote:

48 hours to go - are all your team members wrapped up in cotton wool? Who's going to biff their toe in the bathroom at the B and B? Watch out for that sudden diarrhoea syndrome - always gets one or two!
And kit!? Where's the pea gone from my whistle? And I always thought my Montane thingy had a hood!
Weather? The BBC says we're going to have sunny intervals but what about these weak bands of rain that the Met Office is talking about?
We have had a week band of rain!Quote:

The big question will be whether their non-nav runners can get round all the checkpoints!
Looking at where I *think* the Nav leg's going, runners with an orienteering background will be a big bonus.
Does Matt Speake still run for DP and will he be running (Nav leg?)
Speakey is still DP I think, but he's been injured for quite a while.
GeoffB, you could be right. DPFR had a good old boy's team, but it is falling apart as I type.
I remem when Speake won Noonstone in the English champs last year. And he got the record for the Gisborough Moors (79.09) last year, he's top boy!
James Logue is going well for Calder.
They may just creep in to the top 3.
I hope you are right with your ladies prediction!!Quote:

everything is looking good at kettlewell today.
even the sun came out.
marques up(there big)tables and chaird in.
toilets delivered(loads)finish/start area flagged.
marked out leg1,its a reet good climb and fast descent,
then marked out leg 2,
at the summit of whernside you run along the top for about 200 meters then descend,
this was done to avoid crashing into climbing runners.
its a brilliant bit of running and brings you back out at the sheep pens at hag dyke.
then the fast descent into the finish with a little sting before your done.
the ground is drying out very quick,
mark out leg 2 tomorrow and set the kites for leg 3.
we have a special parking area for mini buses in the marshals car park,for free.
by the way there will be a lot of kit checks,you have been warned.:rolleyes:
Durham Fell Runners 1st in every category :w00t:
Be nice that................good luck Andy and the rest of DFR........have a good'un :thumbup:Quote:

Am wondering where the nav leg will go - not much climbing for a 7 mile leg??
Maybe along the valley to The Buck Inn for a pint and back again. Sure you and Daleside could find that OK.Quote:

Will there be a burger van?
At last!Quote:

Maybe I'm not reading the notes right but can't see if the nav leg people get maps to peruse before they start or, orienterring-style, get map just as you start?
On leg 3 ? Hope so!Quote:
