I'm a bit of a novice at the distance: popped along to the Sale 10 this summer on a bit of a whim as I had 10miles on the training plan for that day and quite enjoyed it.
Musty- Pleeeeeeeeeease don't start regaling us with tales of your sex life!
NotReallyARunner- I am sure you will be fine- and it is in my best interests to encourage non-speedy types as then it makes my race sweep job easier! I am 'sweeping' with my mate Diane who is visually impaired, and she is not used to hills, so you could look after the pair of us when we struggle to keep up with you
On a more useful note I don't think it is full, no.
The mealworms were very useful Sprouty. Robins just love them..... I can remember a girl opening her goody bag & screaming loudly "there are maggots in my goody bag".....
I live in a flat in the city centre, so don't get too many robins... actually I may throw them at people who think it's funny to ring my doorbell at 3am on a Monday night.
It's good Adele. Couple of hills. Nothing too awful. Starts in a park & goes for a gander round the houses. Good atmosphere. Tech t-shirt last year plus goody bag.
My entry's in the post. This is a great event and the weather's always kind.
I've just watched this year's goody bag videos so far (up to 7 of 10). They tease us mercilessly. My guess on the sandwich sketch is a sachet of mayonnaise. Who's betting on mustard?
As for the binoculars looking at the trees, a dollop of bird plop in or on something? And what about the walk across the fields with the dog, the shoes and the stench? I see a theme developing and it's not nice.
Frodo, fancy seeing you here. Snowdonia and now Stockport 10. We get around.

Hiya!
I'm still part-benched, but should be fine by the time this rolls round. I'm loitering on the Lakeland 50/100 thread too as I'm thinking of making the ultra leap this year. I hear you're a bit of an expert in the field...
morticia, wasn't the little fella a Diddy Man of Ken Dodd origin? I'm sure the voice was a speeded up Ken Dodd and it looked a bit like him. I don't know what the sawing was all about though.
Yeah Frodo, I've done a bit over the years. The L50 is a toughie, even though it's 'only' 50 miles. It demands great respect. Get plenty of long weekends out in the hills to build up the leg strength. I recommend plenty of LDWA events, say 3 - 4 a month.
BritNick - Later, you will see my acting debut with Doug the dog my Border Terrier, didn't see you after the BS, another goodturnout from the Harriers, did New York last weekend, tough course but managed to sneak under 3 hrs again.

Dont forget to watch the videos of the goody bag items on youtube
Just search for 'stockport ten'
Well, I've signed up now, so the knitted snail could be mine.
Or will it be a knitted viaduct?
I think its a couple of weeks before. Theres an entry list on the Harriers website.
