My kit is packed 7kg/15lbs in weight, as this is my first MM I hope that it is not too heavy, now looking for a rubber boat that doesn’t weigh too much.With the rain and fog it looks like I am going to be thrown in the deep end for my first one, almost literarily.

Dry forcast now with chance of showers - thats more like it.
Sack weighing in at 3.85 kilos - first time under 4 :-)
Yes I will be hungry and uncomfortable!
Gutted. Running partner has had to pull out, so I have to too. So, a place for any pair who needs a place in the Bowfell category. Oh, and two t-shirts, and beer, and milk....

This is my first MM, so we are in the Kirkfell class, if youfind us, I look just like my avatar, they might be a Scottish flag on our tent,despite me not being Scottish, (asylum seeker from England). I might have somespare food.
Latest Mountain weather forecast is giving the possibility ofsunburn for Saturday!!!:w00t:

What a good weekend eh? No rain except when we were safe in our tents, no wind, hardly any midges, & some of the best mountain running anywhere. Congratulations Karen - brilliant Klets result.
Ta. So So So happy it stayed good weather- suspect I might have had a nightmare in the cold and wet. Loved it! Thanks to the guys I kept meeting up with, good company and motivated me to keep running and keep up several times just by being there. Good to catch up with lots of friends
Thanks to all the organisers who work so hard.
Yesterday was lovely - so lovely we interupted a couple, ahem, in flagrante, ahem, by Burnmoor Tarn. We were likely the first through there (early start on Bowfell) so sorry for ruining the show for the rest of you!
Glad the weather cooled a bit today though - I tend to do OK in heat but my partner doesn't. We managed to turn the 26min deficit of day 1 (too much bimbling!) into a 27sec deficit today. I was hammering it but the winners got going again just before my partner could get to them - well done Lewis and The Ent (as you're students we let you have the free beer!)
cracking weekend, love it low-key!
Well done Karan, I had a great two days I really enjoyed myself in what must have been near ideal conditions.
The high light of many high lights and laughs me and my partner Nigel had over the weekend was running into Joss Naylor above Greendale Tarn,there he was running along with his two collies in his bent forward style, we stopped and had a chat with him and I am sure he would have chatted all day if we had stayed.
I must apologise to any forum members that encounter me on the course, I was wearing a red InoV8 hat and fluorescent yellow tee shirt on day one and a blue one on day two, I was the very enthusiastic one telling jokes and singing very badly, Ain’t no Mountain high enough, ain’t, no valley wide enough ain’t, no river deep enough to keep me from that check point. Or the Hills are alive with the sound of music, Climb every mountain and, The Only way is up.
Sorry if I got on anybody’s nerves
Well done to everybody that was there.
