It is if you want to find short cut,last year the clag was so thick i just went over Scoat fell

does anyone know if the pre entry list is likely to be updated prior to the event ? ( in light of organistaional changes I don't really want to check entry receipt with the organiser if I can help it )

Thanks

The entry list is very likely to be updated before the event. Richard is doing this from Peru, so please be patient.

If anyone fancies a day out, or is coming to spectate anyway, I am still short of some hill marshals!!!!! Please contact me ASAP if you would like to help.

Great stuff, thanks for that.

Might be able to do a hill station but I'll have my daughter with me...

Thanks Ian, Im probably alright for hill marshals now unless youre desperate. No doubt there will be some jobs knocking bout on the day, or you can just have a nice day int hills.

I've entered the Wasdale but have been dithering about whether to do it - it would be a shame not to turn up now that people have put so much effort into making sure it goes ahead.
A decisive factor in my decision is the ball-ache and expense of getting to Wasdale.

I'll be travelling up from St Helens, fairly close to the M6. Is there anyone else travelling from anywhere in the vicinity or on my way up (Standish, Wigan, Leyland, Chorley, Preston, Lancaster etc) who wants to share transport?

Am going from Warrington going Friday and camping till Sunday

Just thinking if it's warm next week that hydration will be critical

I've not done the race before , but I'm thinking that leaving a bottle by the road ( Nether Wasdale ish ) after the first hill would be a good idea ( is there a designated crossing area which is marked on the Friday ? )

and also one up Black Sail/Great Gable area would be good too

is this a usual practice for unsupported competitors ?

any advice/experience/thoughts ? Thanks

There's no point leaving a bottle there, in previous years there's been Joss Naylor handing out drinks. The route is flagged in the valley bottom once you have come down the first hill.
