    My advice would be DON'T do it this year. Marshall this time and build up properly for next year.

    Its not just about the miles in your legs, its about your safety and well being out on the fells in poor conditions, alone, possibly needing to map read and staying safe (alive) in very poor and extremely tough conditions.

    Start looking at the longer AM's then the shorter AL's most (almost all) races are displayed on this website at the front page under races.

    Clippers are like a stapler only with 9 pins that are set in different patterns. You simply clip in a box at one side of your number and it leave a pattern of holes to indicate you have visited that checkpoint.

    Trog's a tough outing, especially in February. Hard and if you can't navigate best avoided

    Agreed.

    It isn't just the miles but the ground is very energy sapping and nav. is a real issue, particularly if you are struggling at the back.

    Back in the day when it was called "The Beast" the RO wasn't just being whimsical.

    Is there a list somewhere to check if an entry has been received (or should I assume it's okay if I posted my check last week?)
