2 inches of fresh snow this morning and still snowing......not much wind and low cloud...this would be great weather for the skyline....well for the locals

Does anyone have approximate splits for a 4 hour round? All the old web links to historic splits seem to be broken. I know there will be much variety but it looks like 1 hr 05 to win hill and 2 05/10 to mam nick cut off might be reasonable?

If you want to scale it up I did 3:22 last year and was 58 mins to Win Hill and 1 hr 50 to Mam Nick

BBC is predicting heavy snow for Friday. Is there an alternate date pencilled in should the event not go ahead (as it is a championship race) or is it Sunday or not at all ?

Forecast for Sunday: max temp -2 C, wind 20 mph from the NE, fresh snow between now and then - Yikes!

Sounds just like what I've been running in for most of this year to be honest. Bring it on!

My mountain weather forecaster of choice is predicting a -13 wind chill for Kinder Scout!

Will we have to dib at first CP - won't there be a bit of a queue to say the least?

Also, when is the latest time a no-go decision would be announced due to severe weather?

Ian,
Looking at the forecast, I'm assuming that you're probably going to require the extra kit but will you be announcing a decision in advance? I'm just thinking of avoiding trailing back to the car if its not required after all.
