Hi Stolly,

I suspect he hasn't gotten over the shock of it yet :D
It could take him a very long time to get over it. There are some scary people on this forum:eek:;):DQuote:

Certainly 1500 feet of climb with the first what 2.5 to 3 miles up to the trig taking 42 minutes. 1 hour 9 altogether :)
Looking up towards Whernside from the tunnel under the railway line:

Isn't the fell race route up Whernside only open on race day, with all race instructions asking us not to use the route at any other time as it may jeopardise relations with the landowner and therefore the race?
Blimey, what are you my shadow or something, always looking to nit pick and find fault?Quote:

The fell race route up Whernside isn't run or walked by hardly anyone, particularly at this time of year, and I suspect the use by runners of the side of Whernside might only become a problem in the build up to the actual race itself. Its open moorland for christ's sake with sheep and a few cattle allowed to graze all over Winterscales Pasture - I was a tiny speck in a huge landscape yesterday pattering up that hill and I was doing no harm to man or beast.
In future I will of course get all my planned runs vetted by you in person before setting off..................... not!!
Not nitpicking I just find it interesting the things you appear to advocate on an open forum, in the last 3 weeks or so you have appeared to endorse falsifying experience on race entry forms, caused a furore and a call for a forum conduct of conduct based on "gay " comments and now admit to open trespass on a route we are asked not to train on. (and indeed I have been steered away from going up by forum members on the grounds of not wanting to spoil it for others, there is also an alternative official footpath to the left of the race route that serves as well).Quote:

You are not also posting as the General or whoever it was and endorsing the use of illegal substances as well are you?
I have come to the conclusion this is part of deliberate policy by yourself to get the forum closed down, could you tell me why & do you want some help with this;)
