12.12 miles, 2,353 feet, 3 hours 21 minutes: Rothay Bridge in Ambleside to Slater Bridge in Little Langdale and back, going out via Clappersgate, Bog...

Yep. Obviously the RO should be told "for information". It brings to mind an infamous English Champs race where a blatant short cut was taken...

Join 'em I say! ;)

Yes, need to find out whether it's contravening race route and then take it up with RO. I've done a couple of Shropshire fell races where there is...

No place for that around here. Ban the lot of 'em, I say.

There's nothing wrong with it. But some folk's don't love it no more.😥

Caught a couple of blokes fiddling with their phones at the bar on something called Discord. Should I ban 'em?

Mark is correct...was there a prescribed route between check points or was it open to choice?

Press-ups. I started with a single right arm hoop knee press-up - success - I will try a left arm one next time. Then, on toes, hoop...

But was it a prescribed route to the finish. With respect ROs don't always make it clear. I've known flagged sections that are 'recommended'...

10.09 miles, 2,956 feet, 3 hours 5 minutes: Wansfell Pike from 2 sides, including up the race route steps, along the ridge to the true top, down to...

I don't ride in padded bottoms so i need a bit of gel.

Yes indeedy. My local bike guru who built my light blue for me recommended it. He us right. Much more comfortable than all this plastic stuff with...

11.55 miles, 3,065 feet, 3 hours 53 minutes: Loughrigg trails, including down the race route from the top to the road at High Close, down through...

Brooks? Sprung hide?

Had another run round this yesterday in preparation for Gt Whernside, though hit the first climb a lot harder, more like race pace. I forgot to take...

Presumably you have taken this up with the Race Organiser? Any response?

25 sets of 2 chin-ups; no specific rest time but the session took 41 minutes.

Yes, I do need to retrieve Voices from the Hills from my pile of "books that I am going to read some time in the near future".

12.27 miles, 2,304 feet, 3 hours 20 minutes: Rothay Bridge - Stagshaw Gardens - High Skelghyll - Low Wood - Mirk Lane - Wain Lane - Fell Lane - High...

Yes I recall in the cloud one year it happened to the leaders. The opposite problem is dropping into the valley where it's heavy going. Take a due...

That went better than I thought, especially after getting the number 13 at registration. How some races seem further than you remember them, this...

There is a lot about her, including a long interview, in Steve Chilton's excellent and, in my view, important book on the pioneer women fell runners:...

So, with my Light Blue Darwin fitted with flat bars and mini cow horns, a Brooks saddle and 29x2 tyres, do I count as a born again cyclist? It's not...

Tricky clothing day today, wet but warm. Take a cag and be hot, or no cag and risk getting wet and chilled.

Press-ups (on toes) with hoops, both arms, 10 sets to failure, no specific rest period, session took 35 minutes: 9 - 10 - 7 - 7 - 7 - 7 - 6 - 6 -...
