Any chance of squeezing the Kanangra to Katoombainto the fatass calendar this year?  Maybe Aug / Sept?

I'm familiar with the Cox's to Katoomba side of things but heading out to do a reccie on the Kanangra side on the Sunday after Hellgate if anyone is interested.

you are one sick puppy
I have spoken to Dr Bob who is one of the runners in the photo, and his advice was stay away. but I don't always listen to advice. the main point he had to make was that he almost froze and but for a jacket lent by another runner would probably still be out there. this is a seriously difficult endeavour.
just right for you then. Have to see if I am fit by then

[Spud]

definitely keen TP. Loved this run back in 2003, was a hot november day from memory,  great trail.

[ScamBullant]

Very keen in the second half of the year.

That's why I was thinking somewhere around Sept - still a bit cooler but days start getting a bit longer.  How does 25th Sept sound?  Can someone who knows how book it into the Calendar? I guess put it down for a 7am "official" start.  I probably get going before dawn to give myself a better chance of getting onto the trail on the other side in daylight.

TP,
Need to look at calendar but sounds good. We would need to organise a lift to Kanangra, car shuffle maybe. I will update the calendar.
Cheers.

Hmmm - maybe this is something I can aim for later in the year..

Could be getting ahead of myself - bouyed by 'success' from Sunday!

[sailaway]

Keen as mustard so long as it doesn't clash with lead up to Glasshouse Ultra.  After reading race report it seems a spectacular run but tough.  Keen indeed.

mmmm....how should I put this politely my little duckling...one must learn to navigate the puddles before heading out into the ocean.  K to K is going to be a major stretch for me.  Sunday was like hanging out in the play pen.

beautifully put Mother Duck, and I must agree entirely this should not be your first fatass

Good on you TP - sounds like an awesome challenge for you  

Have fun out there and if I can help with support somehow (if its at all possible to get a car anywhere) then let me know.

No worries!!  Appreciate the advice.  Will look for some other puddles to play in, and will watch this thread to see how you go. Good luck to all - especially Mother Duck.

Hellgate would be a great puddle for you to head for and maybe see how you're tracking after that. Then we can head out on some more of those secret single trails...

QUACK!

I could be interested depends on leave pass close to the date.

25th September is 2 weeks after Glasshouse so no worries.
And hopefully a couple of weeks before GOW100.

Also to consider:
Poormans in June.
12' Track in August.

Would love to give this a go but have entered Yurrebilla in Adelaide the following weekend and don't think one week would be time enough to recover

Hey Kev,
Before I posted no K2K precise date was given yet. I did try looking for Glasshouse but could not find it.
Thanks for update

[Dutchie]

I would love to join the party!
I have completed it over the last 2 years as a run/walk with my bushwalking group and it would be great fun to do it with a group of CR's.
Having just read Spud's report, I would agree lots of water is required and you are right Spud it takes more like 10-12hrs to complete not 7-8hrs...its a long day.
Although I think you would go much faster now Spud.

Bummer!  Same weekend as the NSW 24-Hour Rogaine Championships.

Last did this a few(!) years ago.  Got to Medlow Gap competely stuffed and was very happy to get a lift to Katoomba with some folks who just happened to passing through.

Great challenge and will be sorry to miss this opportunity.
