High Cup Nick Fell Race

Thanks for your updates and molly coddling Morgan :)
If you have time to post an update in the morning that would be great.

Good luck everyone.

Will there be any presence at the race by Inov8? Stall/van, etc?
Can't ask Inov8 Insider as his inbox is full!!

Hi Folks,
We have had a very thin sprinkling of snow this afternoon whilst I was out with my 2yr old son putting out flags. At the time the snow was not sticking as its been quite warm recently and the ground is no longer frozen.

I'm confident that even if some snow sticks the race will still go on. There's no chance we can have as much snow as was on the Nine Standards race this year!

Just started making soup for you lot to warm up wth after the race.
Hope to see you all tomorrow.
Morgan

Hope I can recover in time for tomorrow

You will you are SuperFellRunner quicker than a speeding ferret.:D

Anyone taking bets on this year's winner? My money's on Nicky Craig.

We actually had a view today! 1st race in 4 months and it felt like it. 5 mins slower than 2 years ago but was quite pleased to get round in one piece in 1:21:00. The main climb was quite easy even with the snow, plenty of snow on a lot of the descent as well. Bumped into Freckle before the start - hope you had a good race. Didn't see IPD so I am guessing his legs were seized from yesterday's recce.

1st & 2nd Borrowdale
3rd Horwich

Another well organised High Cup Nick Fell Race. Big thanks to everyone involved especially the Marshals and the Mountain Rescue Team and of course whoever made that delicious soup!

4th time I've done this race now and only today did I finally get to admire the view from the top. I will upload all the pictures I took sometime this evening but in the meantime enjoy this sneak preview:
