Currently sat in an office about 3 miles from Askham. Cloudy outside and it's looking pretty dark... not quite headtorch time yet, but not far off. I'm thinking anything more than a wee bit over 8 hours running and a headtorch will be needed at one end or the other (of the run that is).

Re. the weather, MWIS have just popped out their first forecast for Saturday and it's looking... well, how to put this? Shit.

40-50mph winds, gusting 80
Rain (of the persistent variety)
0c at 700m

The only plus is might be marginally less terrible early on. And the forecast may yet change!
