We were third over all, My understanding is all class winners and first three get automatic entry. Happy to be corrected on this, If we don't make it I'll be out with the Rescue team as they are planning a night exercise some where on Howden/Bleaklow so we are in the area JIC!

i think thats correct Ian... first 3 team from each category get a place ... the rest of us have to sit and wait for our names to be pulled..

[Stolly]

Quoting directly from the entry web site:

After entries have closed, places will first be given to teams containing at least two members of the previous year's top 3 finishing teams in each category. Half the places are reserved for those teams with the most HPM experience. To decide the remaining places, a draw will be made from all entered teams not already accepted who have satified the organisers that they have the experience to compete safely in the event

Its the 'half the places are reserved for those teams with the most HPM experience' thats the big unknown

We were third over all...

On a technicality... :-)

A bit Harsh Iain we were the third complete team to finish ? no technicality, It's a team race and and the team needs to stick together and finish together.

[IainR]

Still sounding like a technicality..... :-)

Only joking, don't think he had much choice and had I been in that situation I'd have wanted the others to carry on. Had it been on Bleaklow or early on Kinder it would be different.

Anyway looking forwards to it, hope we get in. Always a good night. Be strange though we could be starting quite early and not chasing people down.

[Grouse]

Aye. I'll be dustin off me rollerblades before long.

I'm sure you'll get in on your pedigree, as will the mighty Grouse, If Richard Starts you early he need his head examining! I think we might be further back this year with out Adam to beast us along, we'll still be looking for a top 10 though.

lets hope the CP are where the're suppose to be...!

Young Marko is flying too and it's bloody hard work at the best of time tryig to keep him in sight.
