Wheres the overnight stop then, do we think?
Before the location was announced I'd heard a rumour that Wasdale would be the event centre. That same rumour suggested courses would go in to Ennerdale and Buttermere, so maybe Buttermere? Gatesgarth at the southern end possibly. It'd work for getting the shortest courses back... they could go over Haystacks way and stay high before dropping back in to Wasdale and, I guess, the longer courses back up over to Ennerdale and out the other side. The final details suggest the competition area will be relatively small on day 2, so that would fit. Although, of course, it's most likely something completely different!Originally Posted by Nigel

Cheers - I'll have a pore over the map later. Has anyone tried to order drinks, yet? The list is on the website but I've followed the instructions and I can't see how I order??? Am I missing something obvious?
There is a limited date window mentioned on the website. I can't remember for definite but I don't think you can order until tomorrow.
The Klets has been changed to a mass start on both days... seems a bit strange. 51 people all going off together. It's a bit disappointing to lose an element of the mountain marathon challenge by turning in to pretty much a race (albeit with a load of nav).
????????? Strange :w00t:
I wish you hadn't posted that possible spoiler :thunbdown:
If only you could have averted your eyes...
The rumour may well transpire to be incorrect anyway, but thinking about it I guess it's pretty likely to go that way as last year we covered Langdale and the Glaramara ridge, 2009 covered Duddon and Hard Knott, so there's not a lot left.
Klets will be different- but we get all the control descriptions and have to decide which to do on which day! so more to plan in that sense. I am relieved in some ways as I had a late start and wanted an early one as I think I'll need all the time I can get and even then might struggle to complete my adventure.
Not so sure about the mid camp being Buttermere- wouldn't that be very similar to the one where we started there and had the overnight near Jos Naylors house in Wasdale? Think I faour it being a fair way up Ennerdale? Who knows!
Given the comments about midges I was guessing Ennerdale - certainly hope we get to go over there, it's my favourite part of the Lakes
