Felt that I learnt a lot at Buttermere two weeks ago, in regard to pacing and particularly mental toughness. Hoping for an improved showing but not expecting to set the world alight. If I can get closer to 6 hours than 7 I will consider it progress.

At the front end, forgive my amateur punditry, but a quick glance at the list and its hard to see past the couple of Borrowdale runners for the win, but appears they only have the two runners at the moment, so maybe a chance for Dark Peak to pick up another "super long"?

Will be interesting to see how this race compares against Buttermere for difficulty. Buttermere was quite simply the hardest race I've done, even in quite ideal conditions it was a step up from an agonisingly hot Welsh 1000 metres.

I think Buttermere is marginally harder but Wasdale took me a bit longer 5.38/5.55. A llot more rock around at Wasdale which could be bad in the wet, but conversely more vegetation at Buttermere.

Have fun wish I could do it but looking like next year for any AL action for me.
