Borrowdale Fell Race

[emmilou]

So it'd be more like a long walk

Speak for yourself!

Dom - you'll be fine! It'll be slow and I'm gonna need someone to keep me company at the back

I'll do my special pre-Annie Walsh training regime this week and see how I feel.

(pre-AW training = 2 3 miles runs in 6 weeks...)

How long are you looking to take on this in all seriousness?
Bit of a departure I know, I may come along if the following fit:
Not too fast 3-4mph, (6hr pace I think you said last time)
Not too wet, unlikely, and finally if it's nice can we have a sit down for a sandwich and pictures?

[Tractorboy]

Am sorting out familial arrangements but hope to be there. Since I've only got a bit over 4 days to get ready, best ask now: would people say Mudrocs (the green ones) or Wave Harriers?

[Graeme]

Mudrocs, I'd say, if it's going to be wet, which I expect it will be you'll need something for wet rock.

Buy Pete Bland's map. It's only £2.50. Not sure whether they stock it at IKEA though!
