    Only 70 entries! So why is it that so many people want to race up the highest mountain in Wales and the highest mountain in Scotland/Britain, but so few want to race up the highest mountain in England?????
    Could be the 3 hour drive!

    The twice i have done it there were 40 and 76 finishers.

    I won my first ever prize in a fell race at Scafell a few years ago but as my mum was inconsiderate enough to have a hip replacement operation that day i had to shoot off to visit her in hospital straight after the race and missed the prize giving

    I'm hopefully taking in this one tomorrow.
    Can anyone tell me what route the race follows? Does it go up the nose of Lingmell?

    You must be a pretty decent runner to see the back of his head for the duration of the race.

    have to agree with the previous sentiments

    who ever said there was no glamour in the sport?

    Well it was quite a long way to drive, but at least we saw where Black Coombe is for next year's championship race.

    A small, but select select group of runners were privileged to participate in this race when the record was reduced to 49:50 by Lloyd Taggart who knocked 1min 22secs off the previous record. A terriffic achievement.

    I think I managed to get to the top only just before Lloyd finished!
