It's the one Derby Tup has posted.where's the blog
Thanks MR B
This race really intrigues me, but if the weather was bad it'd be the worst day of my life. The weather could get quite bad at that time; 4 degrees celcius, 60mph wind, sleet and rain, endless freezing peat bog.
You'd have to be tough and fit to do this.
Thats what makes it such a good race,
tough route choices, out there by your self, over rough ground, no flags to follow, almost certainly bad weather conditions.
As Stolly oftens says the joy is in the completing not the racing.
Looking back at that blog they made some bad choices, least of all the nav assumptions. Why aren't they wearing kegs? no wonder they're freezing with bare legs, blood's circulating down there to keep the muscels going and losing a massive amount of heat as it does. Resultantly [is that a word...?] the heat loss keeps blood in the torso having a disabling effect on the running side. I'm no Harley St. doctor but their kit choice was very bad given the conditions and their mental ability will also have been severely compromised, as it has been shown by countless controlled experiments cold can really mess up your judgement.
No problem Derby.Mrs Stagger a lift like last year would be great thanks
Mrs Stagger does that mean your hackney carriage is now full?!
The easiest thing is sending the cheque and the hardest thing ( apart from falling off Kinder or Bleaklow ) is getting back to Marsden. Does anyone know if there's an Edale-Marsden shuttle bus laid on!?
P.S Are you the same Mrs.Stagger that pulled me on to the finish at Holme Moss?

we don't too many to organise for.
However we do hear of groups organising their own coaches.
one group even ran to the start the day before. B&B then ran the race back.
Last year at least 3 runners ran the race and stayed in YH then ran back to Marsden on Monday Monday
, so good to me,
Monday Monday, it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday morning, Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening you would still be here with me.
