    Apparently it's due to the down and up being mandatory this year... <snigger!><snigger!>

    Hopefully be running this this year.
    I think they are still looking for marshalls and helpers if anyone can?

    Just a minor change to this checkpoint as we are using live tracking at that CP and it needs a mobile signal. I never got one at the original CP hence the move.

    Also using it at both road crossings and grindlow knoll. It will let us know, in real time, when people have cleared those sections of the course. And will narrow the area needed to be searched if people are missing and let us know they are missing a lot sooner too.

    It's quite expensive to use, but with a field of this size in a potentially wintery race, I felt it was worth the money. It's one reason why the race is quite a bit more expensive this year.

    Yes, I was quite pleased with how far that rumour was spread.

    We've talked about some different things for next year. Nothing to confirm as yet. We'll see...

    Right that's my entry in. I've got unfinished business with this race. I bombed 2 years ago and finished right near the back. Time to get some serious training in.

    I'm in! Going to strictly regulate what I eat the few days beforehand this time so I don't end up staying up most of the night before with food poisoning! (Still staggered round, but over 5 hours instead of the sub-4 I was hoping for!)
