Looking forward to Saturday. Glad I caught up with the thread to note change of venue although I would normally park further up the hill and walk down. Should now be able to park at school. Hope to do better than last time (2008) when I just scraped inside 8 hours. Running solo but plan to tag on with YJ and NLN (Mrs Charters) for first 12 miles. Hopefully recent improvements and loss of a few pounds will result in my knees keeping quiet during the descent into Hebden Bridge (they usually scream and curse at me which comes out as an echo from my mouth).

What's all this talk about a map? Do you need one? Won't do you any good when the locals swallow you up in the Bermuda Triangle

Hope they've got plenty of fruitcake at the final checkpoint and should I have onions with my hotdog (assuming they are ready at the CP unlike 2008).
