not this year - off to Kirkby Gala race instead

Yep, trying to beat the hour mark (and my shite time from last year)

See you there. Not sure what I'll be wearing... trying to find something red, white and blue but it's not looking good.

Good to meet you today ZM - had to dash off after but next time a pint would surely be a good idea? I had a good run round except for a rather intimate encounter with a patch of nettles. I blame the scenery for distracting me - first time on this route and I loved it.

Thanks to the RO and all the marshalls, and the many people round the course who cheered us on. I'll be back next year if they can guarantee the same conditions...

Good to meet you too 'Tarrier, well run. Had a bit of a 'mare myself, ran like a dobber, twisted my ankle (again) as I got to the top corner of the course. At least I beat last years time and the hour mark.
Again, thanks to the many marshalls out around the course.

Any moderators going to stitch us together?

Was going to do this, but thinking of doing Helvellyn & Dodds on the preceding Sunday and my legs may not like me for it. Had an email from the organisers the other day, apparently the route has changed slightly this year, I think it takes out that awful road section at the end and more of it is on grass. Got to be a good thing!

i will try and make this. not done it before, but i had heard mutterings about the final tarmac stretch and those have led to a course change

New route looks good. The old bit of road was lengthy for a fell race but very scenic country lanes. Hoping to be there.

[Howgill Tarrier]

I'll be there on Monday. New route looks good though didn't mind the old one either, apart from the obvious wearing down of precious fell studs...
