Alias - its just a scam to get more money out of you...you can join the membership anytime and it give you an entry for one of the following years but you still have to pay for entry so its another £40 onto your entrance fee in effect! :eek:

Sorry but Rich have you seen the forecast for Carlise this weekend:

Rather you than me I think!

I know - I've been watching the wind direction and strength predictions.

The wind speed is predicted to be pretty much the same as it is here now....and that is STRONG.

And the wind direction is predicted to change on Saturday but its still looking like a side wind from left to right......this could be quite some experience!:o

That GNR thing is a nice wheeze - they're not creating any more places, just getting an extra £13 income from a chunk of entries. Nice work!:rolleyes:

I think its unlikely to flood, except maybe at the finish in Carlisle (remember Carlisle and their horrendous flooding not so long ago!).

As far as finding out maybe an enquiring email tomorrow might give some idea.

Then again, I can only ever remember one race being called off due to weather and that was the Leeds Marathon due to snow. It all adds to the fun!:D

OK OK.. I promise not to run......



Till Tuesday :rolleyes:

Crispy’s Challenge




24 of the 101 challengers have now beaten their PBs since starting the Crispy Challenge ( www.parkrun.com/results/challenge.aspx ). Apart from our two jokers at the start of the challenge, nobody has yet cracked their target; I thought Chris Cowell, had smashed his target to smithereens at the weekend, but alas, after correction it wasn’t to be. There are two runners both within 5 seconds of their targets (Caroline Forbes and Kevan Wilkinson) – one more push and they should break through. There are still four of you who’ve not been out since the start of the challenge – what are you waiting for? – it’s bracing.

4 out of 101 not yet run - whoops, 2 are from this thread not mentioning any names, BT and Poorbabe!:p
You know you want to.........;)

You dont count, they've credited you with 26:17 at Leeds.....so just 2 delinquents on the thread!:p


Oh dear, just seen news footage from Kendal, Keswick and Hawick which have all got raging rivers which have burst their banks. 21 schools closed, 31 flood warnings.

And Carlisle is bang in the middle of all that mess.:eek:

Hopefully someone will get their mops out before Saturday........:D

Saturday looks awful :eek: Wind speed 26 mph, gusts up to 51 mph...
