I am pretty sure I read recently that 30% of GB olympians were privately educated.

12.13 miles, 3,188 feet, 3 hours 30 minutes: Wansfell Pike and Loughrigg top, ascending the Pike via Blue Hill road/Lane and the steps, then...

Aye, the likes of Alf Tupper and his fish'n'chip supper are long gone. Anyway, I've banged the tele in the corner a few times and the picture seems...

Rowers especially are from very good stock.

All the GB Olympians I've heard interviewed so far have been really quite posh. Where are the local accents? There must be so much talent going to...

As has his Pen y Fan record of 30 mins dead in 1992. No one has come close. He shone briefly but very brightly.

Thanks mate, will probably take you up on that...need to speak to the new landlords of the Rock once they are in and then see where I go from...

Chin-ups, pairs, 2 minutes = set + rest, 20 sets, so 40 in total. In fact the last set was 3 so 41. No sore shoulder recently - was it just volume...

10.39 miles, 3,382 feet, 3 hours 34 minutes: Wansfell Pike from 2 sides, including along the ridge to the true top, down to the upper section of...

I was thinking about Keith? Anderson's Dunnerdale record last night. The two of us can basically run the same distance in the same time, but he can...

12.96 miles, 3,307 feet, 4 hours 19 minutes: Rydal Round route, but starting/finishing in Ambleside, and not entering the sports field. Overcast,...

One armed chest from/to floor knee press-ups, 3 minutes = set + rest, alternating arms, 10 sets: R: 10 - 7 - 7 - 7 - 7. L: 3 - 7 - 5 - 6 - 4.

Looks like i got a miniscule PB, 2009-34.04, 2024-34.03

Cheers, Bill

Thanks WP for setting up. I was snookered by picking two compatriot's who badly let me down scoring only 167 points between them. Roll on the...

I had a burger and chips for £9. Tasty. Didn’t see Tom.

Yeah they did have a good chat 😊 your pacers must have been keeping her updated as my wife knew quite a bit of info. In our WhatsApp there were just...

So the final score. 1/ 8353 Guess who`s back - Oracle 2/ 7878 voiture balai - Pierre Moliere (PeteS) 3/ 7381 Blockheads Oi Oi - Llani Boy ...

10.27 miles, 2,440 feet, 3 hours 2 minutes: Loughrigg trails, including up to the top from the caves, down the race route and down through Deerbolts...

Bar six was a staple of our school tuck shop (in the days when plying kids with sugar for a modest profit was seen as acceptable.) I stockpiled...

I think Llani made some good points on it being a low key affair perhaps to start. I'd also be inclined to consider route and distance on the turnout...

Just don't go picking on me Marco :p

Are they the leftovers from when we hosted some under 16s to teach them the intricacies of map reading and route choice? They all turned up with...

Throwing up?

Agreed - well done Marco - and Travs of course.

Top man, Marco!

Further scratting around in the furthest recesses of cellar has turned up some 'junior' items....a crate of Cresta pop, various flavours and a box of...

19.35 miles, 4,136 feet, 5 hours 38 minutes: Ambleside - Stagshaw Gardens - High Skelghyll - Skelghyll Lane - Troutbeck - Garburn Pass - Dubbs Road -...

Yes it does need a fair bit of knowledge and familiarity to use the dibber software, and there's a license fee to pay. Unless you pay sportident to...

Totally agree. I no longer look here regularly, so I have only just discovered this (although it's exactly what I thought would happen for some time)...
