    Don't be daft. You'll be at least five minutes under that, and nearer ten!

    Yeah, come on Fleeter, get yer light out from under the bushel. Tell you what, have a crack at my best time...1.49.51. We ran similar times at Long Mynd so I reckon thats a fair target for you.

    To look behind in a race is to admit defeat ~ I never look behind. You were lucky at Buckden ~ I was recovering from a sprained ankle.

    I doubt Mapper will run anywhere near that time. Without Alsorans breakfast caravan i doubt he'll even finish ''

    Dont worry Pendle Plodder, I have my own race potion to brew in the secret of my own tent. You should be worried about a dodgy breakfast from those stuffy hotels remember ?

    Mudclaw 330s

    From your list Mudclaws are the only choice.
    Forget the road, if you don't have the grip when you need it, you might as well run in slippers.
    I ran in Mizuno Harriers and it was one of the biggest mistakes I have made.
    No traction going up and descending like a nancy, end result was 3hr 15mins.
    Mudclaw 270 for me this year

    Re: Ben Nevis 2008

    i will have mudclaw 270s and also roclite 285s and see what the conditions are like first. I'm leaning towards the mudclaws but Inov 8 themselves recommended the roclite...

    Fresh pair of Mudclaw 270s for me. I will need all the grip I can get whatever the weather.
