I expect Wynn and Steve are saving that course change for if ever they split up :eek: .

More importantly on the map....

We were discussing on the reccie the other week about whether there is any potential gain in going Robinson to Hindscarth in a direct line rather than messing about with the detour round?? :eek:

Any takers?

I'm getting Fleeter to rig me up one of those bootneck aerial-deathslide-zip-wire things with ropes and all that.

10m drop between the summits should be ok? Don't want to get stuck being all dangly in the middle....

Either a lift or an escalator up Robinson would be useful.:)
Although there is a Stair marked on the map!

My daughter & I are camping both Friday & Saturday night.

Not sure about the slate, though - it sounds like there's a lot of beer & food to be consumed on Saturday afternoon.

oh look milli - we have offended hopey - he's reading and we havent included him in the list of fasties -

As i have no idea how fast you run hopey are you ok with the odds of 14/1? pm milli with any bet you want to make yourself. she takes credit cards

I agree with Milli. My bet's on either Fellrunner or Geoff B. Do I have to choose?

dont promise what you cant deliver bornagain!

fast is only relative

£1 on fellrunner, he's going well

I fell up Latrigg this evening to blow the quadwebs away*.

My legs still hurt. I'm hoping that doing the bikie bit of the Helly Tri thing tomorrow will make it all go away.

*Quadwebs are like cobwebs, only four times worse. They gather in the top half of your legs after stupidly racing the track session four days before a race, and two days after another one. Does it sound like I'm getting my excuses in?

I think someone used the word 'wuss' on here a few days ago when talking about you. Sounds like she got it right.

I think you'll find that place is already taken.

Now come on, let's not fight over it.

That place is mine!

You can all fight over last but one,ok?:p

for millis book - every forumite needs to, on return from the run,(before long hot bath etc) on sat enter thier time on here and then we will find it easier to work out the odds next time. and prizes for first, and last etc (eg mid way, average time, median) shall be announced!
