Last time i ran this event it was EOD and basically a very pleasant hilly trail race with a final yomp up to a trig; why it is now so sought after i can't really understand, it has to be the fastest filling race in fell running. Garry Greenhow only now needs to put on his shoes and i'm down to third. I'm not used to the bitter disappointment of high end racing, i'm going to need a session of counselling off Noel at some point.
If it is allowed Mr B, you are welcome to have my place in order to keep your 50@50 challenge on track.

I think one of the problems with pre entry, especially on-line with the likes of SIentries, Fabian4 and in this case AVTiming is that it appears to take away from the RO the ability to allow a "wildcard" entry.
