Last minute news...

Hi all. Well, less than 24 hours before Wharfdale Upper School at Threshfield becomes home to the 48th Fellsman. Just a couple of items to draw your attention to:

  • As of yesterday everyone on the pre-event waiting list had been allocated a place and we now already have a small number of places available on the day. If you are interested in getting a place please read the news item Instructions for Competitors on the Day below. Please note that the full entry fee of £32 will apply to those entering on the day.
  • Unfortunately we cannot take any more bookings for transport as all the buses (and a couple of minibuses) are full. The buses will be leaving at 05:45, 06:15, 06:45 and 07:15 on the dot. I know the idea of getting on the 07:15 bus is attractive but we can't get 230 of you on a single bus, so please can all those who have booked transport but are not sleeping at Threshfield aim to be at the school by 06:10. Please be aware that if you are NOT getting your kit checked on the Friday night you will need to be on one of the first two buses to give yourself sufficient time to get your kit checked on arrival at Ingleton and your rucksacks/packs repacked to your satisfaction.
  • Speaking of kit checks - you know the random ones everyone says we don't ever have… or that are only ever at one location… you have been warned!!! ;-)
  • There are number of you still emailing the site for information. Hopefully there shouldn't be too many outstanding queries now - I seem to have been emailing non-stop for the last few days. Just to let you know that I will be able to check the email up to about 1pm on Friday after which I will be leaving for Threshfield. All being well I will have access again when I get set up at the school but if you need to query please do it sooner rather than later.

The Fellsman Committee wish you all safe journeys to Yorkshire and look forward to seeing you at the start on Saturday. Best of luck to you all. :-)
