We're in - C class. Hope this will be the antidote to the elephant trods and snake following at the OMM!

henry, any chance of pointer as to where, ie north/south etc of inverness, ill be staying in nigg again and will have to drive back with family after event, so if it was torridon again for example or west coast, might not be able to make it.

I've not done this one before. How do people think that the classes for the highlander compare to the OMM/LAMM classes? We did B at OMM, but decided to enter the C for this due to the winter weather potential and also because we will be carrying more clothing etc.

its hard to say, 1st year weather was good, 2nd year it was said to have been worst weather of any mountain marathon run in uk, 3rd year good again, (it is only 3 years so far henry??) they changed the date after last year i think to try and avoid the last snow/wintery weather. i think youd be ok with b, or score, but obviously theres so many variables. hioefully ill be doing score next year, if i can sort out kids and school hols! i have a soft spot for highlands so im maybe wrong person to be replying, some of the scenery is fantastic, i like it more than wales/lakes/dales etc. you could email henry, hes a nice enough bloke, but dont agree to recce/run anything with him mind you!

The top class of the Highlander has been a bit shorter than the OMM and LAMM elite in the last couple of years I've done it. But it goes over quite rough mountains and a couple of years ago the weather was bad with snow storms. I think this year's OMM was easier than usual.
