Speaking to Carl post-race, he said that according to (some) of the fastest runners of previous decades that the thinking is our lack of proper summers contributes to times being slower than previously (alongside route changes and us younguns all being a bit crap, of course) - you used to be able to boot it from Bessyboot to Esk Hause on Borrowdale (Simon Booth once recce'd it in ~2:50!), now its a boggy sapping grind.

Hi all, will write a note addressing above comments but currently drafting finishers' certificates to be printed off & signed by Joss. I will post out the remaining prizes together with the certificates.
Just to let you know I have some lost property, viz. one red Inov-8 peaked sun hat, another blue 'Hotpeak40' Inov-8 hat & a Fujifilm JV170 camera. Please can the owner(s) contact me & I will post/hand on to you.
Just to say it was a great day from the RO's point of view, the few hiccups with the start - & prizes - successfully overcome. Thanks to all the wonderful helpers who pulled things together for me, Mandy Goth, Lisa Parker, Gareth Little, John Rae, Ian & Brian Finlay & Chris Roberts with the timing system plus all of the marshals & of course Joss & Mary at the Greendale drinks station.
Cheers for now, Richard

Hi All,
Just starting the annual request for helpers for Wasdale - we need...
Registration helpers (half an hour in the morning before the race would do)
A few marshals - one early check point (finishing about 2.30 PM back in the valley) and one later in the day
Sweepers - if anyone fancies a run out but not the full course this would be very useful - going from one checkpoint to the next after the cut off to make sure we know who went missing where...
Contact details on the CFRA website here http://www.cfra.co.uk/index.php , or reply on here.
Hope everyone's training is going well.
TTFN, Will
