I certainly hope to be on that start line next year. That’s great. Current plans are that I’ll be there in a supporter role for daughter and son-in-law, but that’ll change ten times between now and then! |

I’m on an odd-year pattern at the moment. 😀 But, more to the point, I think I may have given them the impression that I’ll do grand-parenting duties next year so they can both run it. (Daughter did it this year off no training and loved it!) |

Of course, if I get a place in the LL50, this will become an essential training event and I’ll have to work on my persuasion techniques with my nearest and dearest. 😉

Shades I’m not sure what the overall stats say. I have been unsuccessful in the ballot in 2022 and 2023 (the only years I have tried for) and both times have been able to get in by subscribing later for a charity place. I’m hoping that the odds will work in my favour for 2024 and that I’ll get a standard place, but I honestly don’t know what the odds are! Anyway, I really am delighted to hear that you are drawn back to the DD with these tweaks to the cut-off times and I’ll hope to see you there in 2024 one way or another! |

Well, if all goes to plan, I’ll be walking 100k in the Lake District on 8/9 June, but my eldest daughter has entered the DD. Last year it was her first ultra and she was fine to around 26 miles … Who is in (other than pretty-much-ever-present Oscar the Grouch!)? |

I'm still recovering from injury so very unlikely to be ready to have another go this year. Frustrating as the slightly relaxed cut offs would be very helpful to me.
