I'll be there - running for Airienteers this year in my brand new AIRE vest!
Small team from Nidd Valley coming - not sure if anyone has come up with an appropriate "amusing" name yet!
I'll be cheering you all on in a marshalling capacity from the cairn. (& making sure you all go around it !). I was going to say "give me a shout", but you'll all be panting like dogs & unable to speak.
If you bring along a 4th you can make a real evening of it and enter 3 teams, after it's only 2 miles and with a slow, medium, fast and 4th runner can minimise changeover delay times viz:
Leg 1 Leg2 Leg3
A Fast 4th Slow
B Medium Fast 4th
C Slow Medium Fast
“Resting” 4th Slow Medium
So the fastest runner runs all 3 legs and the medium, slow and 4th runner do 2 each.
Mine too wharfee!
Though I do believe Graham misread my post - it's a team or '3 teams' - meaning 9 runners if all turn up - actually last I heard there may well be enough of us for 4 teams - some going for us these days and that's even with our new member DinoF being unavailable for this one.
Well 4 runners is enough for 3 teams if you wish to minimise changeover times (see race rules) but if you have 9 runners you could really have some fun.
Race Rules
Teams may contain runners from more than one club. All teams must have 3 different runners (it's a relay!). Runners may compete in more than one team (on different legs).

You would've hated it Simon! Seriously it was a good fun event on a great sunny evening (apart from running into that cold wind!).
Thanks to all the organising team/marshalls etc (Good to see you Jez at the cairn - I obviously wasn't trying hard enough as I managed to speak!).
Also good too see fozzy, hope other forumites enjoyed it too.
