Just looking at the records, I knew the record has stood for a while, but will Kenny Stewarts time ever been beaten? what a record, 1 hr 25 and stood since 1984, wow, it is still the same course yes? Finley Wild ran 1 hr 35 last year, 10 minutes off, which is still a bit off, if the conditions were good, could he chop more off that 10 minutes?

Good luck all:thumbup:

It's reckoned that kenny's time will never be beaten, as there were loose screes then to hurtle down rather than bigger boulders. Me - I'll settle for 40 seconds quicker than last year.

Everyone either travelling...eating Pasta in soggy tents or despairing at the weather :-)

The race is great, the beer in fort william is off the top order and company to die for.:thumbup:
Just the quads for the following week need a little explaining:w00t:.
