I'm doing it but don't have a spare entry sorry. If you live locally you could turn up on the day and there's bound to be a few who don't turn up. Especially if the weather's dodgy.

Yes, I had a look at the website and then through the SI Entries thing (twice to try either the short or long course)on behalf of my GF as she wants to do it ! right up to the point of having to pay and there was no mention of it being full ?

Anyone know if it is confirmed full and if so where ???

Think I'll have a crack next year then.

To be honest it's came round quicker than I thought, this year is flying by!

Looking forward to this - love the trails round there.

I think we've got a start time of about 10 o'clock but I'll need to double check.

The event is apparently full but are taking entries on the day but you will not get a feed from Wilfs at the end!
Any other Singletrackers doing it weather looks good and 3 bands playing in the marquee at the end not forgetting the free camping!

I will be trundling into Staveley on Saturday at the end of giving the Lakeland 200 a go, will be about waiting for trains etc. looks like I am unlikely to get a quick bite to eat there.
