I can see the last 10 miles of this race being a waterless, sun burnt, heat exhaust-athon.
But it'll still be fun..............:confused:
Yeh, that's a concern. I'm reasonably sure legs will last out, they were fine at the end of the Anniversary Waltz and I've done a lot of miles in the hills in my short:D life. I guess I'm just not sure what the rest of the body will need to keep running for the last half dozen miles. Still if I do it it'll be a massive pshy, pysco, err, morale boost! On the other hand if I suffer the shame :rolleyes: of dropping out, well, there's always BEER:DQuote:

The ball is in your court now, no expletives in your reply if you don't mind.:eek: When things dont go to plan , i usually turn to DRINK

Yeah probably, kids will be up at daft o'clock in the morning, jumping up and down on various parts of my anatomy. If not i'll run you to Oxenholme and come back for the clan;)Quote:

See you lot up there, I'm going for a trot round, and I think I'll camp at Turner Farm. Can't be as bad as camping at Helvellyn, the wind broke one of my poles :eek:
Totally unconnected, there's a pub nearby isn't there? :)
Website says there's a pub, anyone fancy jogging the race route again on the sunday?
There certainly is. The Newfield is about a 10 minute walk from the campsite, usually slightly longer on the way backQuote:

Duddon Valley will have an infestation of moths if his wallet sees the light of day. 2 pairs of sunglasses needed for the Queen and Charles Darwin for when he pulls out a tenner:eek:Quote:

I know a probable date isn't much of a gift, but it would be in lieu of an actual garment - although it's true I wouldn't advise her to run clad only in an estimated time of arrival.
Not with the weather we've been having.
we just have to wait for amex to appear :D
He will appear soon like the Genie of the lamp....he's been walking the Cumbrian way with Mrs Amex.Quote:

Good, they're the only reason I'm comingQuote:
