A boy scout ramble you have yet to complete DT?
Having completed 10 Fellsmans, i am sorry to say that the organisers appear to live on a different planet. It can up to 3 months to receive anything back from them but eventually you will. Response to emails is often slow or never. Don't forget you lot, its a tough, high level, exposed, often rough event - the kit list is there for a reason - your safety. Last year the event (for the first time in 50 years) was cancelled mid-event due to several cases of hypothermia - i believe the majority were runners. It wasn't even drizzling. Many of the walkers, who were well kitted out, were forcibly retired as a result - 4 months of training wasted in my case - gutted is an understatement.
It's good that you're not bitter though.
I was one of many that go told it was cancelled due to weather and like many thought the conditions were not 'that bad', but what we were told it was about the marshals, not soley about runners/walkers, i was angry and upset and know I could have got round as I have run in far worse, but I also would not want the responsibility of the event and safety on my shoulders. So I will be back, unfinished buisness....
Correct Steamy. Are you having a run out this time?

I've entered the event on-line and am looking forward to it greatly :thumbup:
