the "Running Route" looks like the 16M jobbyQuote:

Ian - if you're sweeping, I guess you'll be seeing a lot of me! :wink:
Thinking the bog monster could be fairly peckish if the forecast rain arrives this week....
Will most likely head out though, I've been missing the Outer Edge recently :)

But you should be up with me by the time the race starts. I'll see you all then.

Looks like me & Mrs Stagger will be gossiping our way around this one :D
IDP, thanks for the MM file but can't get it to work :o (I am a bit of a computer numpty) Not to worry though as have found your link to the route descriptions & am going for highlighter on map option, much simpler :wink:
So, if we want to run (slooooowly) the long walkers route are we still on for an 8am start?
I'm going to run (very slowly) round the long route starting at 10am.
Hi Socks, expect we will see you there then :)Quote:

So, I guess I'm still on the 'undecided' list

Short course starts at 0800
Runners course starts at 1000
This is the race route
Family Route starts at 1100
I agree that perhaps it should say Long Start and Race Start to be clearer, I'll make sure this is changed for next year.
I'll send you a PM to Confirm.
Ey up,
The long route runners that I know of so far are myself, Dr Kitchen, Datt, Daz the Slug and Rodders (the last two gentlemen I'll finally get to meet!)
Anyone else??? :confused:
Daz is easy to spot, big guy, long hair i'll point him out. Dr kitchen for those who don't know is Greenflash.Quote:

To try and make the timing of the events flow smoother. All courses except the running event will finish at Crow Edge Community centre.
Only the running event will finish at the last road crossing opposite WMRT headquarters access lane. My white VW camper will be parked just inside the gate and all running course competitors will be recorded at this point. This does NOT mean people running the long route you will need to cross the road, carefully, go down the access lane to WMRT HQ and then cross the fields back to Crow Edge Community centre where you will need to register the fact you are back.
There you are, clear as mud. (:
Cheers PB, it is appreciated. BTW, has Tara or Elaine rang you about ordering some more beer? If not I'll give them a nudge. See you saturday!Quote:

the notes mention food at checkpoint D (Lasche) - do we know what that might be?
last year there was sausage rolls, chocolate bars and hot drinks iirc :cool:Quote:

Mrs Stagger has all day to play out and you want them to be on the line for 8am.
Whats up with you southerners can't you sleep.
Don't worry about marshalls, she'll come home when she needs feeding.
Rescue ale, now thats a tasty beer, just managed to get my hands on a brace after Glossop moor.
Went down a treat:thumbup:
It should be a big Bloke called Debs, Yeah you heard right, Actually it's his initials but every one calls him that so say hello. I've given him instructions about the Bogmonster and wher to position himself. He will have a throw line should it be required ;)Quote:

I take it you'll have some crates of MR ale along with you then? Might be tempted....Quote:

No playing out for me & the spotty collie dog after all :mad: Have got a bit of a dodgy foot niggle, it doesn't seem to like shorter runs so have decided against testing it out on a long one. Have fun. Forecast looking quite good :)
Shame T&C (and spotty dog) - one less for the Plodding Posse http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/forum/...sad_smiley.gif

Last year I was that preoccupied with looking for the non-existing artwork I ran straight through the woods before realising my mistake:mad::o
D’oh!
Honest answer is I don't know as I've not run that bit this year. I was going to go out with Nicky but something came up.Quote:

Thanks for all the info here, can't resist a long hobble so I'll be at the 8.00am start for the long route - that'll be two of us in bright green fell pony vests then. .... I'll be the bloke at the back, probably being swept up later in the day :D
Will have a trot around the long route I think, if I can get there for 8. Wore fluo green last year (my avatar is going up Cut Gate) so maybe another showing of the pink is due.
Is it going to be a turbo powered trot like last year?Quote:
