Well, that didn't go according to plan. No matter what food I tried at the check point (sweet, savoury, cold drinks, hot drinks) it just irritated my stomach. Finally had to drop out at at Cray after not eating (or jus bringing it back up) for more that 6 hours.
A few lessons to learn for next time....pack more warm clothes, try out the fellsman menu on training runs (don't know how I'll keep a hotdog warm for a few hours whilst out training???), take it easier at the start.

2nd DNF in 2 weeks.......think I'll take up Darts instead

Well done to all competitors and organisers.
