Hi all,
I'm staying with the out-laws the night before and was wandering if any of the great and good of New Mills (or nearby :) ) are heading up to Marsden for the start? The other half has family commitments so I could really do with finding a lift.
I can provide a lift back from Edale to New Mills if required.
PM me or post a reply.
Cheers, Kat
Wont be a problem Kat, quite a few folk from hereabouts will be heading to Marsden to do and/or support Tanky's, if you pm me I'll let you know who is giving lifts etc.... and/or contact me via the Hayfield Fell Races website (I organise the Kinder Trial), you will most probably know me anyway... www.cs.man.ac.uk/~temples/hc/
Everyone else does:D .
You say that with great conviction.;)Quote:

I'll be heading over from New Mills, but I also need to sort out transport with Luv Shack & the rest of the Pennine crew. No doubt see you around somewhere.Quote:

Has anyone received confirmation that they're in?
I've heard nothing, and I was pretty late getting my entry in. Didn't realise there was an entry limit.

my fault entirely for not getting the entry in earlier i suppose
As far as I'm aware there is no limit only a closing date, then he turns every one away, no substitutes and no late entries.:mad: If he want's to enforce the deadline that's ok he put that on the entry form but substitutions could be allowedfor the next week perhaps...Quote:

It would be a real shame if Billy Whizz (Dave Taylor) wasn't there - I was planning on following him across Bleaklow. (I wish!!)
Time to start training soon, I suppose.

It is a shame that Dave "pocket rocket" Taylor isn't allowed to race though. Plenty of other runners have offered to substitute for him. May be if he held the trophy to ransom:D
Thanks, Ian, I'll check it out in a couple of days, then.Quote:

Thanks guys - much appreciated!
Luv shack - we do know each other - a few Glossopdale and RC shennanigans over the last few years. I'll PM you when I have a bit more time! I thought you super-organised Pennine lot would be mobilising for this.
Geoff - we have met too - you 'sort of sheltered' under the boot lid of my car post-Borrowdale this year with the 'shack and others!
Hoping for good conditions this year - I have a bone to pick with this little run!
See you soon
Kat(e)
Oh, that Kat. Yes, a nice sophisticated little soire, I seem to remember! (Cheese, wine, olives - just what Borrowdale's all about!)Quote:
