    Hmmm...might be up for this. How hilly is it?
    Like the recce we did a few years ago for the mountain plod, same area.
    For God's sake don't let memo near this.:D
    Might be up for it if its Saturday two weeks.

    Run The Line Recce

    When: Sat 15th/Sun 16th November @ 10 a.m.
    Where: Lamb Doyle's Pub Carpark
    Distance: up to 25k (full course), but options to cut short at various points.

    I'm up for this. Looking at the weather Saturday seems to be the better day.

    Any other takers?

    Sunday would be better for me: if this ends up being Saturday, I'll probably just head out to Phoenix Park for 2-3 hours on Sunday instead.

    Heh. Here was I wondering why my regular threads were so quiet, then I realised it was because they were the DCM and sub-3 support threads. D'Oh.

    I'd love to do this, put a face on some of you anonymous internet wrongers if nothing else. I've done Kilmashogue car park to Two Rock (and followed the WW down to the road) so I've an idea of the climbing involved. It's tough enough, but I'd love to run it in company this time. I can do either day, but I'd prefer Sunday as that's long run day anyway. I'll go when the gang goes anyhoo.

    Sunday is looking like a better day for me. Looks like there's a few for both days.

    Lets decide on a day then.

    Heres the weather for Saturday and Sunday.

    Saturday looking slightly better with less rain. I was up in Ticknock this morning and its very muddy, lots of puddles etc. Even if there is no rain on Saturday we would still get pretty wet so I'm easy for either day.

    So lets just pick a day. Dont make me add a table :rolleyes:

    I have to work on Saturday so Sunday suits me better, but I have been emotionally blackmailed into pacing a first timer in the Clontarf HM on the 29th so I can't make Run The Line, hence a recce is not really necessary. If people are about on Sunday I'll head up, if not I'll run elsewhere.

    Weather now looks better on Sunday. So how about a show of hands for Sunday? Maybe add a 'Thanks' to PaulieC's post if you plan on attending Sunday, and thanks Gerard_65's post if you plan on turning up on Saturday?

    I was hoping to make this and do the short course but knew earlier in the week I wouldn't so headed up this morning, its very wet up there and you are ankle deep in water on most of the trails, knee deep in one part on the way up!! Trail runners are a must and i found coming down at the end the hardest part as legs were tired at that stage and it was very wet.

    DogSlySmile, Did I take a photo of you in the knee deep water?

    Yeah, sorry about that. My Mrs bringing her mother to town takes precedence over me 'running around in a field'

    You know you've had a good run when you're sitting in the shower using an old toothbrush to get the muck out of your toes 😊

    Cheers guys, very enjoyable run. I may reconsider my enthusiasm for the upcoming race, when the muscles stiffen up tomorrow! Hope the ribs are ok Dave.
