Fair enough, my reply was not meant to be patronising - apologies.
I just find it frustrating that people on here knock road runners for showing up to do a fell race. Maybe it's a good thing that this race is in the handbook as it makes for a good entry level race for those who've not had a crack at fell running before.
At the PPP this year there were only 11 runners under the age of 25 (I was one of them) - that suggests to me that this great sport has a real problem of getting new people involved.
Enjoy your pint after the race - I will.
