I always forget about the horribly early start, but that's probably due to all the other stuff going on during the day. Mustn't forget to pack and do drop bags and go to bed early tomorrow evening. Yes, seriously. Must my my head in the right place to go out and enjoy some of Scotland's best trail running.

_andy Apr 2017 7:33am, 28 Apr 2017 9,855 posts	0 _andy The Highland Fling is just brilliant NID. This will be my eighth in a row and I'm looking forward to it as much as any other time. The Lakeland 50 comes close to it in terms of awesomeness, but the Fling really was the one that pushed me into ultras. This year was the first time it went to a ballot (for 1000 places). Forecast is ok (ish) in that traditional Scottish sense. Rain, showers, bits of sunshine. Importantly, the wind doesn't is a southerly all day, pushing us along nicely

Fenland (Fenners) Runner Apr 2017 7:56am, 28 Apr 2017 12,087 posts	0 Fenland (Fenners) Runner I agree with Andy. Nothing touches the Highland Fling for all round 'feel' good factor. It will be #5 for me. And hope not to fcuk it up like the last few.

Fenland (Fenners) Runner Apr 2017 8:13am, 28 Apr 2017 12,088 posts	0 Fenland (Fenners) Runner I'm happy to do the admin if Ogee ain't frequenting these parts?
