Ok, weekends seem to be time off for everyone, i'm sure i can get some cover for a weekend. I'll start putting some dates forward and see what people think.

16th - 17th - 18th March,
23rd - 24th - 25th March.
6th - 7th - 8th April.
13th - 14th - 15th April.

If we can try work within those lines. We can get something organized fairly quickly.

Also, anyone with camping gear, post if you can use it, and importantly if you have a tent along with the numbers it will allow.

computer has been on the blink so i havent been able to take a look, 6th - 8th has got two hits I notice, I will organize it for these dates.

So we will set out on the 6th and come back on the 8th. That means booking friday, saturday and sunday off. Ive already sorted a route out, I have one tent, but it can only fit 3 in at a squeeze. Food and drink we can sort out when we get an idea of whos coming.

All those able to make it on the 6th, 7th and 8th please put your name down. I will be in touch with the details as soon as i can[/url]

PM enroute mate.

As for those of you runners, this should be a good warmup and down, and inbetween the toenails.

Trying to organize a recce run now, so we can have some idea of how the route will look.

I know I stated not to worry about footwear, but judging the current conditions a good set of boots, wellies and trainers are probably a good idea.
