    Some great flapjack and orange juice at the finish last time I ran this little beauty.

    Thanks to all concerned for today, so many good factors to the race, in my opinion. Weather was immaculate, flagging to & from the camp site spot on, organisation perfect, orange juice & flapjack very warmly received post race and huge thanks to those hardy souls at the Pike summit collecting our little number tags.

    Really enjoyed it & it's already pencilled in for me for 2016

    All that waffle from me about doing this race, sadly due to a family crisis on Friday night I never made the trip up to the Lakes for this, gutted.
    Hope everyone had a good race and a grand day out.

    Sorry to hear that Fozzy42. Yes, it was a grand day out. One for 2016 for you?

    How good was that weather today?! Even had a clear view from the summit, although I stupidly didn't take time to look around.

    Thanks to all involved, a "proper" fell race of the short variety, really enjoyed it.

    Was a long one in my book Cal, especially after a summer of bofra races.

    Very true, Wharfee...didn't stop you from having a storming run though, superb result.

    I've just been eyeing this up and wondered how much local knowledge is required for this? The nearest race I've done is Blencathra last year (which I finished well to the back), but the top looks like it'd be a trickier proposition if the murk descends.

    Cheers

    Give it a go Pin.
    From NT camp out towards Wasdale Inn over a foot bridge and back towards foot of lingmell.
    Once you pass the last wall you either go straight up or follow the path.
    Over the style and as it levels keep to the right hand trod.
    Follow this until it crosses a stream and rises to the main tourist path.
    2 options now, cut the corner by going through the rocks (on a good day) or follow the main path in the clag.
    Return via same route.
    Great race, you will be glad you did it but your quad's will hate you for a few days.
    Wish I was fit now.
    One of my fav races.

    Agree with Stagger. Give it a go mate. This'll be my 3rd year racing it, top race!
