A brilliant race for a brilliant day. Was diisappointed with my time this year, seemed to fall apart after Dalehead, but it was nothing that the free food and free beer couldn't put right!
Thanks to everyone who helped to make it happen.

The walker indeed got a clattering. I literally dropped off the top and was in freefall for about 20ft and landed on her. I felt really bad and said so sorry. I was worred sick on the run in as I thought id hurt her.Quote:

That watch is very sentimental and its been with me a long time.
Appreciate that Bob.
Your right , Catbells was very crowded but when you have Jack Holt on your tail your just thinking Go Go Go , I said to Geoff B a thanks for the support then bang next thing i knew id landed in her lap.
I didnt have time to work any charm
Anyway Jack blitzed past me despite encouragement from Stagger half way down:)
you always said you were a catch for the ladies, never knew you meant to fall on there lap though! :eek:Quote:

This is one of the best sights I've personally ever seen....maybe I oughta get out more.

Definately thought my ascent up Robinson was for me anyway a quicker option than the direct route everyone took, but a bit odd being up there on you're own with not a soul in sight for a while wondering if you'd gotten it completley wrong.
Decided to carry on regardless of the bad leg and enjoy the weather and scenery no matter what, had a great day out and. Good to see old faces and put names to some new.
Thanks to Wynn and all the marshalls especially a certain donkey shouting abuse on catbells :rolleyes:;) and to Alex for taking the drink for me, certainly not a day to try and get round unhydrated....if it's this bad in april I'll be fit for nothing when the sun shines for real :o
Sorry to hear you were suffering.Quote:

Well it seemed to pay off as I rejoined the crowds about 20 places ahead of where I'd left them. The other bonuses of the route I took were no crags, and peace and quiet!:) I think I saw someone in a Carnethy vest following me, but nobody else.
The route is the reverse of the line I took on my BG last year, as suggested by Steve, Wynn and Yiannis after last year's AW. Here's a plot of it:
