I’m not really a fan but hope she does well.

Not on Twitter, but follow her on Instagram.

The year we all did Helvellyn I heard her go past while we were parked up - she has quite a distinctive, loud voice :smile: - & my wife wondered what I was risking getting whiplash looking for :joy: .

Not sure about that, I’d have last year’s winner Claire Bannwarth as favourite, and Anna Troup who holds the Pennine Way FKT should also be up there.

Wow just had a look at Anna Troup fkt that is impressive .

Kendra Wedgewood is pretty handy as well, won a ultras before.

Recognise a few names and spoons might have his eye on it next year :flushed:

I think Anna Troup has won Arc twice?

Was going to have a steady hike up to Ted Tarn, when it flattened and went down I couldn’t resist jogging :roll_eyes:

Went up onto Kinder this morning to see the Challenger runners. Foggy but otherwise good conditions, 2C at 600m with not much wind. Saw Repoman from TT1.0 come through

Temperature difference and windchill about 600m up Helvellyn was noticeable, but possibly the way it was swirling around. Really calm not far below.

Forecast for the week is going to be tough for them :cold_face:

Conditions were way better today than any of the three times I did it! Two times snow and one time rain and gale force winds
