Great film, really enjoyed watching it. I see the route has changed slightly in parts, probably even tougher back then. Wetted my appetite for the race in a few weeks time.

Well? What fell shoes should I wear then?

Well? What fell shoes should I wear then?

The ones with crampons.

Yesterday the weather forecaster (on Channel 4, if I remember rightly) was reminding us of the late-April snowstorm of 1981, although he didn't mention that one of its consequences was the cancellation of the Three Peaks race that year (which was then re-scheduled for October).

it was bad enough going up Whernside last year!

Hoping to have a bit of sun on my back this year

Less than a week to go now. What times are people hoping for? I did it in under 4 hours the last couple of times but am hoping for sub 5 this year as I'm not as fit now. Anyone got any experience of running just under 5 hours and care to share their checkpoint times?
