Hi,

I know most of the organising team very well (I was a member for a year or two building up to the 50th Anniv) and I have the utmost respect for people like Dave Hodgson, Wendy Dodds, Bill Wade, Bryan Speight, etc. These people know and have done it all.

I am sure they are stunned that the PPP has filled so quickly.

I am also sure that elite athletes will not be punished because they did not get through the window eg Angela Mudge is the greatest mountain runner to emerge from the British Isles and is currently running the Everest marathon. I really doubt the PPP organisers will turn her away if she wants to run?

And if they do she can have my place.
