Now you've got me thinking I might want to join you for old times' sake ...

Assuming you want to do it with someone.

Yes! Wouldn't it be quite spectacular if past and (possibly still) present World Record Holders from all over the world fly in to participate in this great event? Maybe we could even turn this into a yearly GWR holder reunion?

See you in May, Geoff!

I will be up this years Z1 challenge- even if it means booking a day off work.

I badly want a sub 3 hour time this year, having got within 15 seconds of that target last year!

If things go well enough for me (which quite frankly they aren't at the moment), I'll join you Martin!

I thought Ric and David Scard were onto this?

Or have I got myself confused somewhere?

I second that...

May you say? So far I'm free in May 100%, but I am hoping to change that...

Looking forward to the announcement, I really want to come down!
