    Nicky Spinks Record attempt

    Just caught up with the news that Nicky is going for the Lakeland Peaks record this weekend. She's aiming to raise the existing 62 peak record to 63 and the weather forecast suggests that she's picked the right weekend.

    Now this could be a run worth watching - is there any of her support team going to be posting on here?

    It hasn't been mention before as Nicky was aiming to keep it low key, Plenty of folk on here are on support duty. I'm sure one or two can keep it updated. Nicky has been out most weekends sorting out the route.

    She's in top form at the moment so if any one can she can.

    Thanks IDP, I reckoned there would be a sizable DPFR support team out.

    Good luck to Nicky and the crew. I'm sure that there will be a lot of people interested in progress so any updates would be really welcome.

    Now that the secret is out, let me say that Nicky has got a schedule for up to 65 tops and she means business. I will update this site with her progress in the w/e.

    Bugger - I almost wish I wasn't entered for the Osmotherley Phoenix this weekend, I'd love to be a witness to something like this.
    Nicky has got a schedule for up to 65 tops and she means business.
    I'm dead excited just reading about it!
    I reckon it's going to be perfect this weekend.
    Go for it, Nicky - I'm sure there's a bit of history-making in the offing.
