Bit pointless carrying out a reccy until we know where we are allowed to go (Bleaklow is the problematic area as reagards access), unless of course you intending on just following the Pennine Way but there are better options to doing that.Originally Posted by luke.porter
Good point, the bogs will have to wait.
Just been having a look at the Trigger forum
http://forum.fellrunner.org.uk/showt...-Trigger/page5
They seem to be pretty OK on access, wonder what is happening with the decision for Tanky's?
The build up to this race is a bit quiet and it is only three weeks to go before the closing date for entries. Does anyone have an idea of how many have entered already and whether the route and access have been sorted for this year? Have my entry form ready to go but just holding back for now - would like to be sure this was going to take place first, weather permitting!
Any update from Clair or others in the know would be appreciated.
Ssshhhhh!...or we'll have to pull the tr....r!

yes sorry its been quiet...totally hectic behind the scenes though! Currently I'm around the 100 entrants..entries very slow this year..had some permissions through but not all and I'm busy chasing.
A major hiccup is the withdrawl of the event support of Woodhead Mountain Rescue who have provided support for almost 40years but have decided that they cannot provide support to this years event due to operational commitments. I am currently trying to contact other teams and I am earnestly looking for ideas and volunteers to assist with the marshalling. If you can help please email me on [email protected]
Also please pass on the word to anyone who is wanting to enter. My intention is to email last years entrants however I am not able to find the time to create the huge address list to go with it yet!!!
Thanks
What's the situation on this race? If there are no permissions is it cancelled and would I get a full refund? I'm thinking of an entry having done it a few years ago. I know there's no entries on the day usually...it's getting close to closing
In the past there has never been a "full refund" only a partial.
Its a shame because Mrs S likes this event but increased costs and race uncertaincy have forced her to find an alternative event.
me too until i get confirmation of the route my entry stay at home
question how can you put on a race and take money with out knowing your route?
On an other note clare, thanks for the mass email this morning but I rather have not had my work email sent to 230 ppeople :angry:
Although I had an entry for last year's cancelled event, I never received any emails from Clare about this year's race.
Was there anything in the email of any significance?
