Weather was pretty bad this morning , rain sleet and freezing cold and with the organisers wanting race to finish at 7pm tomorrow the cut offs were cut between 15 and 30 mins but i forgot to check my updated list. Still got a bunch of buddies out there so it's constant checking the updates.

Lintie Aug 2011 8:26pm, 27 Aug 2011 2,973 posts	Lintie The first climb as the same as last year, a mud slide but it was great fun. Been scorching hot all this past week with a thunder storm mid afternoon each day but today it's a lot colder and showery and snow lower on the mountains. We can't complain, had a fantastic week
