Shortcut Cam Sep 2014 6:28pm, 15 Sep 2014 200 posts	Quote Pin Shortcut Cam I'd love to do the NDW 50, the start is more or less on my doorstep, but I promised myself the second after finishing the Lairig Ghru this year that I'd limit trail runs to 27 miles. Maybe once I've done a few more trail marathons it'll be time to reconsider.

Velociraptor Sep 2014 9:01pm, 15 Sep 2014 30,870 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor The NDW50 is the same weekend as the Windermere Marathon, and I plan to be there because it's a special celebration for the significant birthday of a lovely Fetchie ... actually, 50 miles at 50 would be EVEN BETTER than a marathon. Where's HellsBells? Being serious, though, we won't be straying far from home during school term time next spring because of the wee-raptors' exams, and the CDNW race calendar isn't out yet so I don't know when I'll be volunteering to support at bike races. But another year ... Lili, are you still coming to Ennerdale next month?
