I think you may find this will soon be history as the National Committee of the LDWA have decided to open up the full Gambit to non members , not sure as to when as the decision has not long been announced.

on the LDWA website there's reference to a harveys map of LD Routes ............ is this any good?

I'm not tight, contrary to many's belief, but I only wanted to run ONE walk so I didn't think it was worth it....

I'm a fully paid up member of FRA, although i do owe club subs for this year....

I'm sure you really want to do 2 events ,
The second being my 40+ miler in August :D

any information fss would be great (!)

It is a tricky route to follow, very easy to overrun a turn or mis-count the number of stiles. The 09:00 start has the advantage of people on the route in front of you for much of the way round. Look out especially for Dwerry House - you don't see until after you turn right - make sure you know where the Grid Ref is.

Send me a pm with your email address I'll try to send you a map with the route (what I think is the route) on it. It won't all the twists and turns but it should you where you ought to be going.

Me & Mrs FSS have done three times and got lost, or at least have been off route, every time and always in different places but never very seriously.

For info, anyone thinking about doing this years 100 at the end of May http://www.cantcanolbarth.co.uk/index.htm

I have just heard that the event is not far off full, so get your entries in quick.
