thanks , cannot find tankies e mail anywhere either
im not going to disturb him at 10.03 , will ring in morning
cheers

Me too, fell victim to the lab bug and feel like crap.
It was definately called off one year, late 90's but I don't remember which. It was very deep snow, it would have taken days to complete.
I'll be at the start to see you off on Sunday, good luck all!

Dunno he's got an email actually. Get better soon.
Cya!

Daz & Co'.....
I'll let Tanky know....
Going to be there, early doors in Marsden!
Get better quick!!!

I'm guessing the discrepency between checkpoint 1 on my number and that on the Website is a mistake.

Will it be in the usuall spot by the bridge on the reservoir and not above Crowden on the PW as my number says!

Note- Woodhead Mountain Rescue will be providing safety cover over the hills so don't forget to give them a cheery wave and a thank you as you pass them by as they will be out there for longer than us. I'm expecting lots of abuse off them as I pass as they think I (and Plumbum) have taken the easy option.

1996.
The story at the time was the deep snow on the Snake Road made it impossible for support, and checkpoint marshals, to get there.
Remember it well as the year after, when first thoughts of a BG attempt crept in, I did Edale - Marsden - Edale as a tester, and to make up for the missed one.

Don't envy those guys out there today - weather's absolutely awful, and freezing in those gusts. Hypothermia city I think. Hope all get round safely.

Well, that's the most invigorating race I've done since ... the Edale Skyline.

I thought Mike France's lads and lassies from Woodhead MRT probably had it far worse than us runners.

Thanks.
