Cragchick yes expedition with a wiff of competition . The spine takes all the motivation discussed on this thread but heightens all the emotional elements (perhaps it,s the sleep depravation)
When they open for 2014 I recon most of the 2013 spiners will enter again . They are talking about 75 for the Spine Challenger and 75 for the full spine. The places will go fast.
This race will never get much larger as the logistics of running CP,s 45miles apart with full serious medical backup (they put 3 stitches in one mans leg in a corner of a pub). Not to mention that they are running an in house mountain rescue team for 7days continually for runners that may be 80+miles apart. Just getting the right drop bag to the right CP is not easy. It would not surprise me if before long you will have to have done the Challenger before you can enter the full Spine. The vetting of entries will also become more strict as demand increases.
