She has such determination and will power. On our Monday Hill sessions/races I struggle to catch her. What a year she has had. One tough lady.
Well, as with all team events, train together, run together and race together - its as strong as it's weakest runner!;)Quote:

Nope.
Me neither. Emailed them earlier today.
What??? The apostrophe police will be after you, young man. Try this - it's as strong as its weakest runner.Quote:

I got dradfted in to a team yesterday so I'll be at the start and hopefully at the finish.
Derwent edge was still sguidy but was starting to dry last week. any rain though will soon return it to it's natural state:eek:
I'll be up by Swains Head running a Nav course tommorrow so I'll give an up date on consistency then...;):D
Ps I'll bring some Ale with me in case any one wants some.
I can't think of anything to post about it :rolleyes: - the weather, as I always knew it would, is turning for the worse and I just 'can't wait' to be staggering through all those maze like peat bogs on the 8 mile bogathon stretch up to Bleaklow and just beyond.... In the dark.... In almost certain clag.... And in as likely as not driving rain.
I'm just girding my loins :D. That beer sounds like a lovely carrot at the end of a long and muddy stick!
I've been sleeping instead of surfing :)Quote:

Where do they put the High Neb control, is it on the main path, or hidden away at the foot of the crag somewhere? Or is it a closely guarded secret ;)
The path from there to Moscar was the boggiest I've seen it, though I never went in above knee deep...
It's too early wake me up on Friday afternoon.
I too was drafted/coerced in last Wednesday evening (in the pub no less, and under the influence!) so Il see you on the start line! The rain is pouring, iv been snoring, and Iv got a feeling this 40 miles is going to be anything but boring :D
It was close to the path last year.Quote:

Fresh snow esp on Bleaklow and snowwing when we walked off...

Attachment 1862
I'll pack the snorkel :eek:
Who is team Potter Power??
As the founding member I see we are on the start list and I don't know any members?? Obviously toughened warriors who are willing to carry the flag!
How's things in New Zealand mate, you lucky man;)Quote:

Metcheck isn't too bad.
Which forecast do you look at on the Metoffice
Met check for Kinder:

Metcheck is always wrong - but I hope this is the exception that proves the rule :)
Pretty good forecast really:
http://www.mwis.org.uk/mountain/PD.PDF
Much better. OK, that's the one I'm going to believe :)
At the moment it looks like we are lucky with worse weather due later on Saturday and Sunday. Seems as close to perfect as there can be, I suppose Ideally all frozen but that's hard on the joints.
Good to see you are finally making it Iain, Have you got Rob and Sarah in your team?Quote:

Probably frozen enough to make you think it's solid, until you put your full weight onto it :)
NO, Rob dropped out of solaris I think they are called. Still having knee issues. Sarah's doing the XC in Notts.
I'm running with High peak rollerbladers.
Aaaaah Haaaaaah..... have you had your Passport stamped!???Quote:

Good luck all, especially team Girlie Wurleys.
Yes, good luck to one and all. We're one of the first so-called "running" teams to start, so make sure you all say hello as you overtake us :)
See y'all at Edale village hall then. And good luck :D
See you there StollyQuote:

Just don't end up balls deep in bog like I did on a recce last year!
HPMers - remember today, don't stand if you can sit down, don't sit down if you can lie down. It's going to be a long day! See you tonight.;)
