i may have a spare bed, cos me and DDP booked twin room
I put down 8 1/2 hours but that really depends on navigating and how runnable the trail is, its probably getting quite waterlogged I would have thought.
I really am looking forward to it, my first long run for ages.
getting there will be a bit frought though.
gulp
Of course, the trouble with navigating from point A to point B is you do need to know where point A is!!
That's usually where I start to have problems.
or something
Tim - What are the odds of your compass, Loz's and my GPS all pointing in the same directon?
NMP, you'll keep up fine. I did the 3 peaks race in 5 hours, so if you can do it in training in 6, you'll have no problem.
My daughter is acting as back up on this, so hopefully she'll be at certain points, but there's no guarantee, if something distracts her. But I'll make sure she's got plenty of drink etc on board. Also it means they'll be a couple of places in the car back to Os if needed, after a couple of drinks of course.
there seems to be a few points where you can veer off the beaten track and shave a few miles - assuming terrain looks not too boggy when you get there and you are not holding your compass upside down.
My times are all over the shop - I'm gonna enjoy it wth a bit of jogging and walking.
Loads of people going back to Os as well
By the time we get back there all of our muscles will be nice and stiff - seems like aother reason for another drink up there to celebrate!
Assuming we are still awake!
Bryan - have you been able to source some of the coffin badges?
Start time - 7.30
Also planning to borrow GPS, also need to learn to use it this weekend!
Foot injury almost better, so I'll be there, but training has been limited since Swaledale.
I dont think anyone has been able to do any proper training for this event due to one thing or another, or in my case both!
In hiding - do you still need a lift? If you do then
email me
Folk will have to remind me if I've promised them a lift back or not. Don't all shout at once.
I'll have to make sure I tell sheley where the finish is or we're all in trouble!!
oh no
Sorry for the absence but the firm sent me to Birmingham for a week to deliver a training course.
Answers to queries.
Bacon butties for those who ordered are at Hamer.
Gin available at same stop; but only to worthy causes. Idiots that run can reach the pub quick enough to buy their own.
Coffin badges are being worked on. Hopefully Sherwood is going to take some with him to the finish.
Word of caution.
If you intend using a compass it might be useful to know that Rosedale area used to be an iron ore mining area. Compasses tend to be a little unreliable in this area. Depending what the grouind is feeling like the compass can point in any direction. God Bless magnetite.
Steady
Next years event will be on the second saturday in July as usual. Applications available from early January.
See you all on saturday (hopefully). Any queries I'll be about all week except Thursday.
Well, i'll just have to keep up won't I so I don't need to navigate, but after marking the maps I'm reasonably confident I can find my way, just the first bit looks a bit tricky.
Bryan, is there food at the finish and will the family be able to get any anywhere?
I'll have to resort to old injun tricks!
I am really looking forward to this now.
Are there showers/ changing at the end?
Bryan , did I order a bacon butty if not can I?
How rainy is the forecast in real terms? and muddy is it underfoot there?
or is it light showers?
Go down nicely at the finish though.
Certainly did not put agnetite down to add extra spice. If people get lost in that section it is me who has to go looking for them.
Sure we could run to a bacon butty for you Caspar.
Hotel let people use toilets to wash and village hall will be open for a wash in their toilets. Unable to arrange showers. Sorry.
Food available at Ravenhall Hotel but pricey. Would advise calling at a shop on way round to Ravenscar. If driving round north side of moor then Stokesley or Whitby your best bets. South side then Helmsley, Pickering and Scarborough.
Anyone wanting to camp at Ravenscar? There is free camping on the grass at side of village hall for the Saturday night only. Use of toilets in the hall. Also people are able to sleep in village hall. Bring your own bags etc. All they ask is that noise levels are kept to a minimum so as not to disturb neighbours, everything is left as found and you vacate before noon sunday.
See you all on Saturday
Bryan, my wife is planning on driving from Osmotherley via Whitby so I'll tel her to look out for food there.

now where did I leave them?
