    I missed the deadline again - I've run the races over most of the tops of the British Isles - Snowdon, Scafell, Slieve Donard, Snaefell, Carauntoonhill (last year - the best of the lot so far) but I'm still short of the full set, i.e. Ben Nevis (and what's the one on the Isle of Wight that Pennine make a pilgrimage to?)

    The one on the Isle of Wight is St Boniface ( 787 feet ), which the first race of the September IoW fell race series climbs.

    Got a note back from the secretary, apparently nine have pulled out so far and I am moving slowly up the list. Don't know how you managed to get a place before me if you were 17th reserve, but I'm sure it'll all work itself out in the end.

    Maybe I was 7th, memory fuzzy at best of times, and it was quite a while ago!
    I've also just missed cut off in previous years so perhaps that made a difference too...
    Good Luck WH

    Was there a rumour at some stage that the entries for the 2008 race would start before the 2007 race has even been run or am I just making things up again?!

    One of my club mates can't make it and has emailed the organiser to advise so more hope for those on the reserve list.
