50 for me as a solo this year! :thumbup: so probably a bit longer by the time I get lost!!
The 50 for me too this year, less distance every yearThough hopefully faster and will be refreshing as not run the Dalemain-Coniston stretch since 2010 event.
Oh! So a few will be there. I'm going to camp on the Friday just to make it simpler...and I fancy a little camp out in my wee one man!!
I was recce'ing Pooley-High Street the other day and it was wet but not horrendous. It might get muddy with all those people through it mind. I'm guessing thats the main wet/boggy section.What are you inferring tfg? Is it coz I is doin da fifty as well?
Seriously though, like Steve says, the fifty is a serious undertaking, especially this year when, judging by the way the weather's shaping up, the conditions might be even more hostile than usual to our feet. I'm almost relieved I'm not entered for the 100 this year.
Just for info: Its worth checking out John Kynaston's site for recce video's. They are very, very useful.
Seconded, I've watched them all a few times, John and Dave Troman have done an excellent job.

You can even have a go at guessing John's time for the 100.
Will also be getting ther Friday I think, just too far from Hull to drive to Coniston on a saturday, up tent, sort run stuff, weigh in and reg, sort head! before a 10-10.30am coach. I'd only end up doing something worng and satbotaging my efforts (or thinking I had if I underperformed).
Will go up Friday and watch 100ers off I think, then reg and relax
Good decision DE. That's what I'm doing. We've got to see the 100ers off.
Regarding the end of the festivities, I read in the instructions that camping on the field is not allowed on Sunday night. I hope it doesn't mean that everyone will leave and not party on in the local hostelries on Sunday evening. Is anyone else planning to stay on? I was looking forward to a good party.
I'm booked in at coppermines YH Sunday night, not going home till Monday. Party on dude:thumbup:
Hi Britnick/ALL
I'm stopping up Coniston way on the Sun eve post the 100...no idea where as yet......but it'll prob be the pub around teatime onwards...shame the camping ain't avail on the Sun eve too.....
Mark....
