Jebby is sponsored by inov8 to run in his new white inov8 vest, Simon booth often runs vestless Rhys is another of many of the top runners that often run vestless. as I said in the safety rules post 1st man and woman would of been dq'ed under the new rules at Borrowdale this yr under the numbers issue!!!! I suspect there may be the odd "jobsworth" RO'S that may dq runners but on the hole I guess there will be little change, for instance how many times do you see "random kit checks will be made" I run 30 - 40 times a yr and the last time I was randomly checked was at Langdale 2 yrs ago! though some races check at registration.

I was randomly kit-checked at Turner on Saturday and at Winter Hill. And everyone had to pass through kit-check at the Saunders (plus I saw them go round visually checking tents at half-way).

Also had mandatory kit-check at Fairfield.

Was also kit-checked at 3P last year and at Skiddaw last year.

Never not carried at least the required minimum kit and it's always my first question when collecting my number. After saying thankyou of course.

Another vote for good pics- cheers.

It looked ok Amex when I passed it later on. A little counselling and monitoring for post traumatic-stress disorder and it will be fine. :rolleyes:

Little article here http://www.mudsweatandtears.co.uk/20...h-fell-champs/

And results are up here: http://fellrunner.org.uk/results.php?id=2070

Missed out on my goal of top half, but I'll get there next year. Maybe a championship point the year after?
