Three sets of photos of a great race ...
Firstly, everybody who was there must appear somewhere amongst the plethora of cracking photos on the Borrowdale site here.
And, secondly & thirdly, from a more personal perspective, I've put up two sets on my 'photo blog' site: one set courtesy of my good lady stationed near High Spy and the other set I took whilst running the race.
:)
Some excellent pics there.
Do the ones from the Borrowdale site belong to you?
Just wondering if I could use some on the Lostock website?
Thanks

Obviously a cameraman with good taste - he just about got my elbow & not much more.
Can't believe he missed Emmilou, though.
I'm on one of the Borrowdale ones....but not looking at my best:eek:
As for topofahill's photos, I have a feeling that they were taken at a point which those of us who took a "shortcut" didn't pass:rolleyes:
Or went to the wrong top!Quote:

Cheers, Swoop, I'll just have to get my automatic focusing/zooming software to work on the first one!Quote:

Luckily, like you, an "I spy moment" at the top of the hill got me back on track.:)
Fellrunner showing some nice dance moves. (Already been Mudged by this stage).

Thanks millipede, glad you like them.Quote:

I do use a reasonably lightweight camera, however it's the full-size tripod that holds me back! :)
How many forum members are on this photograph? And who can name them all?
Thanks for pointing that one out Geoff.Quote:

Great photos......sort of.
the pic of me reflects the type of race i had:eek:
Mrs H thought I'd been cheating using two pairs of legs....:)

Probably four. On the right Millipede, Mud, Daz H and Dominion.Quote:

There is also a Horwich Lad look-a like in the background!
So that's what Mud was on about. Harry H Howgill second!! Well done. Hard luck Fellrunner!Quote:

Well done Topofahill. Your photos show the racing better than any I have ever seen.
I sat at the foot of Robinson snapping and mine are crap....
Have been trying to recognize the winning shoes. I think they are:
1. Mudclaw 270
2. Mudclaw 330
3. Mudclaw 330
4. Swoop
5. Mudclaw 330
but my eyesight isn't what it used to be!
Those are my legs.....& that's my nose sticking out of Harry's oxter!Quote:

Incidentally, the Keswick guy on his last legs crawling up High Spy was quite ok after his fall - I'm glad I restricted my tumbling to some soft grassy bit near Dalehead tarn!
It wasn't that I was disorientated - I was just trying to pick a better line (for me) than when I reccied it a couple of weeks back. I failed!
You can say that again. Even I was a minute faster on the run in Dom!Quote:

A good one of Sunnysideup 4819
I liked the 'on the run' photos, even though I was too far behind to be in any of them.
Too right. Hope I can look as fresh on Sunday... unlikely I know. Will you have the stretcher ready on top of Ingleborough?Quote:
