Thigh length ones :w00t:
I'm contemplating an actual seal skin. Works for the eskimos and it looks pretty cold up there.
It could double as a toboggan for the descents
Hope you all enjoy this, i've had to drop out as i'm still niggledbut will hopefully meet you all as i've offered to help on the day.

Sort of wish I'd entered, kind of glad I haven't!!! The over-time shift will come in for christmas mind!
shame your not running nee bother, hopefully see around on the day. im the same fjell guy im looking forward to it and yet bracing for the kicking it looks like mother nature may dish out. just need to decide on the feet setup and in ready.........ish see you all there or in the pub :thumbup:
There looks like a few miles of road (although not looked at map for a while) but want something grippy off rd. Dont know whether to bother with crampons on't fell - a bit heavy and are they really needed? Will have to see nearer the time.
Will, I would guess that crampons would only be needed if it's an icy freeze-up like it was last year. Since I've got mine now I'll be bringing them just in case, but I don't expect to use them.
Looking quite likely at the moment! Freeze-thaw for the foreseeable future, I guess it depends whether next Saturday coincides with one of the freezes or one of the thaws
Are we talking proper crampons or micro spike will and nick ? I'm even thinking of throwing a lighjtweight ice axe and goggles in boot and deciding on day, I'm using it as a training run/end of year catch up with a couple of mates so won't be racing though. Any one thinking the same or am I being over sensible ? Not used to running in snow only walking and climbing .
