Many thanks to everyone who submitted their route in 2013 – I hope everyone else gets around to it in the first few weeks of next year!

Here's the state of play as it stands just 'afore 3pm, December 31, 2013.

Routes received: 95 (44%)
Routes to be assigned to vetters: 0
Bumped for pre-vet revision: 2
Being vetted: 10
Returned for post-vet revision: 9
V2/3/etc routes awaiting vetters' approval: 3
"Good to go": 71

Please don't forget the revised deadlines for route submission:

Challengers who have completed five or more Challenges should submit route sheets by Saturday, January 18, 2014. All others must be received by Saturday, February 15, 2014, at the latest.

If you think you're going to struggle to meet your deadline, pleased drop me a line now so that I'm aware; otherwise you run the risk of your place(s) being given to folk on the Standby List.

If you've submitted a route and not had an acknowledgement, get in touch as all routes are acknowledged, usually with two days, maximum.

Happy Hogmanay everyone, here's hoping 2014 will be full of sunshine (or at least May).
