    An elite band of forumites are sacrificing their Friday evening to recce Keswick's watering-houses sampling the quality of the Snecklifter prior to dancing til dawn to an ABBA tribute act at the Loft. A hell of a task but it has to be done

    Snecklifter, there's a lot of love for that stuff on here, do all elite and seasoned fell runners need a slightly higher octane fuel or something? Nothing else has the ethanol content?

    I had forgot the enormity of our task, I need to get my head down and concentrate, it's going to be tough with a capital T

    I recognised the scale of our undertaking months ago and started training accordingly. Long steady drinking sessions, afternoons spent studying the Good Beer Guide, a hard session or two with some very seasoned Keighley area guzzlers. It's a Herculean task and we might not all make it through to the final encore of Dancing Queen but as we stand by the Moot Hall steps on Saturday morning, possibly feeling a bit fragile, we'll have given it our very best effort

    Some of us don't have time for that, and have to train for the dance marathon

    No overtaking though, apparrently it's a felletiquette no-no to overtake your navigator.
