In reply to Run_Ross_Run:
I assume you mean the Highland Fling ?
I'm a bit uncomfortable about the numbers. Last year 600 entries, this year 1000 - ok, there will be the usual 15% or so of drop-outs ( and no reserve list ), but even if its 800-850 ( plus 50 relay teams ), then that's an awful lot of people for a route that is single-track in bits.
After Rowardennan or so, it will have spread out, but I really pity anyone out for what they think will be a nice quiet walk in the countryside on the bottom section.
Unless of course it goes back to staggered start which it used to, but was done away with last year ( apart from relay which was an hour later ).
Did you do it last year, how did the 600 spread out ?
