Thread: Edale Skyline Fell Race

  1. #2541

    Re: Edale Skyline Fell Race

    Take it off the Championship List? Oh god they've started already, someone fetch the shotgun, the idiots are loose again!! Based on your logic the Great Lakes wasn't representative of a true championship race either because clearly most of the top runners can't navigate particularly well, and some people happen to be stronger swimmers than others too!! I didn't see it affecting the final standings though.

    I expect to have a damn good crack at scoring points again on Sunday, but if I can't make it I really wouldn't expect them to start adding other races in at this stage. Just take your medicine and crack on, there's always Wasdale to get your AL in but I guess we'd better pray there isn't a fine blanket of drizzle or a few extra wisps of cloud in the air first.

    As an aside to the organisers, the communication to competitors this week has been outstanding and extremely helpful in ensuring we have no excuse for not making a sound judgement on kit/ability etc. Many Thanks for your hard work on our behalf, top job indeed!

    Why don't we calm down and let the RO make his decision about his race and then the FRA committee if they need to get involved about it being a championship decider. It's only Friday and as it's a Sunday race things have got time to improve. Go get a brew or a beer and take it easy.

    It's the thing about people getting there that is the issue with it being a champs race. Fine if you live locally but if you've got to travel a fair way then perhaps it will be unfair. We'll have to wait and see. Time will tell. Time for a Friday night beer and watch the weather from inside a nice warm house I think!!!!

    i think that anybody who completes this race on sunday should get double championship points regardless of who makes it or doesnt make it.

    You don't need to drive right up to the front door of Edale Village Hall... why not park the car at one of the dozens of train stations en route and do the last leg via train?

    At the very worst, Manchester & Sheffield will still be accessible via car.

    Good luck to any marshalls intending to be out on the hill!
