    Registering/ratifying etc

    Just a quick heads up.

    I'm away for a week or so from this Friday (25th May) riding the Highland Trail 550 so it's unlikely that I'll be responding to any emails during that time - in fact my phone will be in air-plane mode for most of the time to save battery usage. If you haven't had a confirmation email when registering or have sent in a ratification form just be patient I'll respond to you once I'm back.

    Have fun. If you see Rich and Tom then please say hello from Mr Sparkle.

    Just had a look at the tracker to see how Bob is going on and it's not looking good. Something has gone amiss. Hope he's ok.

    I have heard from him via email and he didn’t ask me to send help.

    Things didn't go quite as planned! Short version: got food poisoning then heatstroke then mechanical problems so bailed at the fifty mile mark. Long version here: http://bobwightman.blogspot.com/2018...y-well-no.html

    There was a scratch (abandon) rate of about 40%, most were due to the heat but one rider went for a swim and cut his foot on a rock and another was attacked by a cow!

    Bump for summer hols!

    I'm away for three weeks from this Thursday (2nd August) so for those who are successful and have submitted your forms just be patient. I might check my email on my phone but I won't be able to check the forms. I'm back around the 22nd.

    Hi Bob

    Did you get my email regarding split times from Pillar to Kirk fell?

    Cheers
    Darren Fishwick, Chorley.

    I did indeed Darren. We are having an extraordinary committee meeting to determine if you should be struck from the records for such a flagrant attempt at misleading us!

    Haha cheers Bob

    On closer inspection I was glad to see the pillar-kirk fell split was wrong. The correction makes my wander on kirk fell seem not as bad.
