Sarah Ni Ruairc	Apr 28, 11:01PM	Any chance of an early start on Ben Gorm? Sarah
theo mooney	Apr 30, 3:46PM	i will be driving out to ben gorm on sunday from castlebar if anyone needs a lift? and back to wicklow on tuesday if that helps anyone.
Turlough Conway	Apr 30, 4:47PM	Hi Sarah Cant do the Early start unfortunately. We always have a few at the race who may not have frequent internet access and may not be able to change plans in any case. Looking for 2 summit marshalls for Ben Gorm. One for Summit proper and one marshall for the ridge compulsory point. Also if anyone has a video camera could you bring it down if willing? Thanks
Rene Borg	May 2, 10:42PM	Well done to everyone over there. Fair play to Rosalind Hussey for setting a new ladies' record for Ben Gorm. Swift recovery to Jason Kehoe, third man to top at Croagh Patrick but on the receiving end of a bad fall! One of many, if rumours (and precedence!) are anything to go by.
MacDonnell Cormac	May 4, 10:54AM	Thanks for organising a great race Turlough.. perfect conditions for it ! Here's to more races in the west in the near future...
