[QUOTE=Toreador;330100]Easier said than done!

I'm pinning my hopes on the MWIS outlook which says
"There will be snow showers to low levels in exposed north and easterly areas [of the UK], but elsewhere it will be mainly dry with hills largely cloud free and very cold."


that sounds better, please can you book that then.
did you do highlander toreador?

No, it always seems to be on a weekend where I'm already committed to something else.

Next year perhaps...

mental note to self- carry more clothes and less food than on Hardmoors. Wear waterproof gloves so you are still able to operate fingers after 3 hours. Wear more earlier even if it means stopping to put it on!!!

I was hoping for sun and blue sky!

<<funnily enough the bit between Capplestone Gate and Yarnbury worries me a little;>>
Whaddya mean Stolly??? More revision on the map front please before Saturday!!!!! And no claiming Harry chewed them up either!!

On the weather front I read
<< mainly dry with a warm westerly wind keeping temperatures comfortable late into the eveing....>>

...then I realised it was for SEATTLE-a common predictive typo!

Anyway, at least those not used to our common wet conditions will get to experience proper boggy fellrunning, not like that mamby pamby "run along with Nancy" weather in the 3PPP's hey Stolly?

To the map table my boy....................

Good Luck Rachel, running The fellsman will be fun...

it's trying to keep up with Stolly that will be hard...

[shaunandrachel]

hey! thanks for the vote of confidence Ian!! I know- Stolly always says " I run along for fun, at my pace, no real training ,etc etc..." And when you are with him he's a bat out of hell!! I'd hate to see him after some serious training! But, as for the fellsman, he knows that I know where he lives..........

Yes, H55 may have worked out as a good dress rehearsal for this if forecast stays as is.

Pre-fellsman mental breakdown I'm afraid

Another newbie question here re the kit check. On the Fellsman website it states "A suitable torch with a spare bulb where appropriate and a spare set of alkaline batteries. Pen-lights and miniature torches are not acceptable." That sounds fair enough. But in the book it goes further and says that single LED torches are not acceptable. My head torch has a single LED but is 50 lumens and therefore reasonably powerful - I was looking at another headtorch that had 4 LED's but was only 40 lumens in total. Surely my own single LED torch is better. Can anybody clarify this rule?

Headtorches are okay
