    yum!

    meanwhile... 4 days out... forecast improving slightly:

    "Saturday
    A cloudy start with some rain over the south of the park but drier and brighter conditions across the north will gradually sink south. Strong easterly winds easing a little. "

    Two different weather forecasts a day between now and race day - that's up to ten different weather forecasts, eleven including THIS ONE. Hey, there's a reasonable chance one of them might be right!
    Be prepared, it might be wild out there. Or sunny.

    Currently one one of its regular holidays, ie no forecast information available.

    Which is better than yr.no which currently has heavy rain and strong winds, so I'll go with metcheck's void.

    I think Yiannis likes the clag down, as it makes it more interesting navigationally :sneaky:

    personally, if I'm going to spend 11 hours on the hills, I like to get at least an occasional glimpse of them!

    on the other hand, I wouldn't mind testing my new Mountain Equipment Firelite jacket

    Does anyone know the rough cut-off time for Scafell Pike? Not doing the race, but was hoping to see some runners coming through if I could get there in time.

    Cheers.

    What's the crack with water do people carry most of it round with them? I read the organisers say there might not be any at the checkpoints.....
