    6 or 7 times past the same point! Is this the resurrection of the Healey Dell Soft Guys Race (10 laps of Fellmonster's Garden, carrying your handbag, and having to drink a small glass of lime cordial on each lap)?

    As far as getting permissions goes, I've tried two approaches.

    1. Run the race anyway, without telling anybody. This did result in 186 runners going through a live firing range with all those pretty red flags flying. Ho hum.

    2. Traipse round the farms and chat up the farmers. Probably best, as it's harder to say no to a relatively human face. Just don't wear your tight lycra leggings and a pink vest

    That could be the start of something ruinous DanAzz, might be better to leave her to her own devices, just hide your wallet first.

    Come for a guided tour Pudgy, i predict you will bonk at 5 miles

    Shall we set a date for a guided tour for possible Pony helpers? (and piss-takers)?

    Yes, although I am not sure I will be able to help, from where I am based. I'd volunteer to take the p*ss though, if required...

    Definitely ask all landowners whose land the race crosses, even if it is on public rights of way, or you will be in trouble...

    There's no obvious encroachment onto private land at all......but I'll certainly look into it.....

    Emmi, my e-mail is [email protected] be grateful for the letter you mentioned earlier.

    The race doesn't pass the same point 6 times.....I said you'd have a good view of runners 6 times from the one point.....

    Oh, and pudgy.....I predict you'd bonk BEFORE the 5 mile mark!
