Thanks Swoop for correcting the mistake.

There are too many people claiming to be slow runners and telling the rest of us pork pies:eek:

Would I lie to you? :p

On reflection, perhaps you're right. I was just "factoring in contingency" in case it's too hot....or I'm having a bad day.... :rolleyes:

BTW Stagger
I approached someone at a recent race 'cos they looked a lot like you do in your avatar. Only it wasn't you. Strangely enough, when I asked said person if he was "stagger" from the forum he replied "might be, depends".... :eek: How odd.

I'm afraid this is nothing like Borrowdale! But it is a pleasant trip around the 'Hayfield Skyline'.

I shan't be doing this next week as I'm doing Ennerdale on the Saturday, but I'll probably be up near Kinder Low watching with Emma. I might even take some water up with me if it's hot!

I had a nice gentle jog around the route earlier today (about 2 1/2 hours) and it was pretty dry everywhere, but there was still some good drinkable water at the River Sett checkpoint.

Hope you all have a good run.
