Being a tubby bloke on too many (hit) lists.. I'm feeling rather exposed at the moment!!!! But, maybe it's time to shed some blubber for this one!Quote:

Wobblehead, are you in? Anyone else?
I am viewing this thread for the first time.
How come 500 enter every year and less than 380 start?
Seems a big drop-out rate.:confused:
Entry list is now the final, I wonder how many on the reserve list actually got in?
Do you really want to open that can of worms - if so i have the tin opener!!Quote:

Well, good to see you back on the fells again Timo... (at last..)
even though I was so far behind I didn't...
Got my runners card for the race this morning.
Is the big number on the front of the post card my race number???
I've not got mine yet, but the numbering tends to go in club order.
If it matches the one in http://www.bennevisrace.co.uk/2007_final_list.pdf then it probably is.
Since I've switched clubs this year I've moved up about 400 places before even registering :D
Great to see 90 natives taking such an interest in the race with their generous donations!
Yep your right MC numbers are the same.Quote:

Has everyone had their medical check yet?
yes just had mine today in fact:)Quote:

You must be gutted TA but it’s the organisers who have people entering 11 months before the race.Quote:

It’s not a good system when this happens; maybe a review is in order.
Apologies if this has been covered already, but did Ian Holmes get a place after all?
TA entered in 2005. What happened then?
He's on the entry listQuote:

Is anyone camping that weekend and if so which site?
Mrs Stagger is sending me on my own with just a tent for comfort. So I will need a couple of pints of painkiller to sleep on Saturday night.
