Entered here too :w00t:
Would appreciate advice from anyone who's done this as to how important a recce is as I think I'll have limited opportunities to get up there prior to the event

Essential to recce the dark bits.
1. From Wasdale Head to Dockray, there's some tricky navigation especially if it's misty as well as dark.
2. Ambleside to Coniston, navigation fairly straight forward but not after 25+ hours, definitely not the time to be adding miles due to nav error.

The race map and route book are easily followed during daylight, helps to know the route though, just depends on how competitive you are.

Entered this one after being roped into marshalling at Tilberthwaite checkpoint this year.
Looking forward to getting to the fairy light finish in coniston (hopefully).
Booked on the recces in Novembr and April to get the lay of the land.
Hope the weather is a bit cooler than this year.

Wow, the whole Ultra scene has gone crazy now. I blame the internet. It creates a dilemma. I was going to see if I get in to some other events first before entering this to avoid '100 overdose' in 2012, but no chance of that. I might just get the L50 entered and try for a top ten finish instead. :closed:

Doh, posted on the wrong thread.
Didn't see the Lakeland 50 thread.
100 is just TOO long.

Can anyone tell me what the cut-off times are for the 100? Other than a 40-hour limit for the whole thing, I can't see any specific mention on their website.

And does anyone know when we get the map & road book? - just seen you can buy on line but I know you get as part of entry fee at some stage.Thanks

You only get the physical road book and maps on the day of the race.
You do get the road book in draft format .pdf in the 'competitors area' of the website. The passwords get given out about 6 months before the start.
