I've just decided I don't trust you anymore.
Eh up fellrunners. I can't believe nobody has started a thread about this British Champs race yet.
The old man's up for this one. Heard him muttering about it sounds like a little belter of a course.
Many years ago I recall walking off Yr Elen and the old man saying something like "My gosh, this is steep. Wouldn't it be funny if, twenty odd years from now, I were to try running down this in a British Champs fell race!"
And soon, uncannily, his prophetic words will come true.
Surely worth a good turn-out from the forum.
Woof!
But I would not be convicted by a jury of my peers.
Thanks Pike.
Are you doing it? Doesn't look like anybody else is.
Woof!

Two things have persuaded me to do this..."the inclusion of the summit of Carnedd Llewellyn (just to make it a bit harder)" and "the sting in the tail – the ascent of Gyrn Wigau (CP5). If it is a hot day then you will very likely suffer here."...sounds like fun to me
Whats it like? Rocky? Boggy?
I've just decided I don't trust you anymore.
I'm up for this one. It's a great race with a sapping long run up. Some boggy bits low down but otherwise good paths and some great grassy sweeps down. As I recall the run-in takes forever.
See you all in The Douglas afterwards!

OOOOh, naughty children. I'd like to do this one if I can wangle the time off. Brilliant course, one big tough climb from memory, great descent, weeeeeeeeeeeeee......... Don't ever recall having to do any swimming.....
Another thing, you need to go to Bethedsa, end of the known universe
Checkpoint 3 to 4??
Direct or down the North ridge to pick up the path that sweeps round?
Thanks for any info, Ali
