Ditto! My 'camelbak type thingy' was empty and the emergency bottle was long gone. A bottle o' Lucozade gave me the lift to get up and over to the finish - brill! I owe you one! :D

Can't believe you *almost* fell for that one! :p Trying to enforce the rule about if you finish a race but your kit isn't complete then you might be disqualified.... You gotta laugh!

I knew you were joking really:rolleyes: I had a spare hat, balaclava and a polar thong stashed in my bumbag.
Loved that last section from snake, with the two climbs and the great downhill finish, looking back up that i'm glad we were coming down:eek:

Oh, and i did laugh mate, just not OL:p

Fab wasn't it? Going up felt like mountaineering, the descent was bl**dy marvellous. Perfect.

I had a bottle stached on Bleaklow with some gels, It was burried under a snow drift:D so I'll go back up for it in a week or two. I ate plenty early on so didn't eat any thing after Bleaklow despite having plenty in my bag.
Jan I'll try and pop round with your case tonight.

No, I think I came out with "Killiman <expletive!>jiro"..... :p You know how it is! That was a toughie climb on tired legs. :(

Here's my two ha'pence worth...

Race report - pants! :eek: Struggled round, was half an hour slower than last time so not happy about that! :mad:

Going up Black Hill stomach cramp settled in and despite eating & drinking etc I had it all the way up to the top of Bleaklow. Added to this, I began having leg cramp going up Torside. Took some Nuun tabs and these eventually seemed to do the trick. Met Brent at top of Herm Stones - it was a big help to have some company to the road section. Thanks to Ratfink's drinks stand got the energy to face the last part. Trotting down the road to the Snake I was seriously considering bombing out and cadging a lift though....

Cor, I'm having a right moan, aren't I? :D

Craking event, glad it was rescued and went ahead. Very tricky underfoot on the tops but makes life interesting. Great to catch up with a gaggle of forumites. Manhar was screaming past me over Black Hill, he had a good run I think. And Marty McFly, who also hed an ace run, should now be called "Whippet".

Cheers Ian, Andy, Brent, MR and whoever else for the organisation and running of this event. As I fininshed I thought "I'm not bl**dy doing that again" but today I'm not so sure....

Results Ian ???????????

ah so that was you jodg!

lots of people ate mince pies! more than 5 litres of squash got drunk. my paltry supply of jelly babies was decimated in minutes.

it was good cheering people along - some people were unable to stop due to being involved in personal race battles....some made pacts to stop....

i also got to see lots of droopy people practically reinflated by a bit of sugar!

well done everyone!!

BUT....

next year can there please be a first womens team recognized?!?

Fingers crossed later today, Andy is waiting for them to be sent after some minor corrections. Mrs Tanky has them at the moment.

we were talking about this and a V60 prize (which would have been one by the second place V50 Ken Jones) but he got a prize any way so he was happy.

Thanks for the cheer ratfink, couldn't stop cos Mrs.Stagger was beasting me:)

I wanted to stop and talk with Ratfink but I thought if I get nattering, we'd never get on anyway we had a mountain to climb!

Thanks Jo, your support was greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the drink Ratfink.

Love your avatar-looks like a blonder version of one of our old pets. Much missed.

Cheers Guys- don't know where it's coming from other than running in anger. Already looking forward to next Decembers race :eek:

Next you'll be asking to pay £20 to enter and asking if you can run on the roads more:confused::confused::confused:

You can get t shirts in Tescos.

Aye, you can Grouse but you cannot buy the feeling I got when I saw Mam Tor for the first time yesterday ;)

Just thought it'd a nice momento of the occasion..... :(

I know it's different compared to other races (i.e. it's not a club organised event as such) but quite happy to cough up a bit extra for a "T".

Then again, I'm a sucker for such trinkets.... :D

Tanky's T-shirts would be a hit mate, crackin' idea....:)

Here's a thought for next year - why not have the prize-giving in the pub? We'd probably get more people buying a pint or three, thus keeping the Jolly Rambler sweet.

Tanky's t-shirts.....also a good way to put a few extra pennies into the Mountain Rescue pot...here's hoping Woodhead MR continue to host Tanky's.

We would all have to buy food though, just to be able to sit in the other room.
Landlady seemed to be happy with us, she was quite chatty when we went for a pint later, after clearing up in the village hall and dropping the gazebo.
Didn't stay long though as Brent and me had an appointment at the Huntsman, Thurlstone.

Just been on line to a cheapish t-shirt designer -
Tanky's Trog - I did it my way
£780 for 150

£5 plus

Any art work would certainly bump up the price - but someone knows someone who could do it cheaper ................

Why not wear a white t-shirt to the event, get it covered in mud and then frame it?:D

Yes, sorry for being such a miserable git. It's a great idea. You can't have too many T shirts... and the ones in Tescos are crap.

We'll get Mr Winterburn on it next year. ;) He could get someone to help put labels on the bottles and use the time to organise T's. :rolleyes: He's obviously got lots of energy to get rid of. :D
Runner print winner were the best deal last year with the Trunce T shirts, and good quality ones at that.

I think we should keep it old skool!!! No T shirts etc - before we know where we are we'll be calling it an adventure race!!:eek::eek::eek:

Saw you run in PB - and gave you a shout from down the lane - good effort and thanks !

Must admit Bluebike, I agree about the T shirts, couldn't fit another one in my drawer anyway.
Nowt against them really but just something else to do, how many do you order, do you put a date on them or not.
With my present history, both check points at Crowden :o, with the new race number blanks, I'd probably mess it up anyway:eek:

I always knew you were a belt and braces man!!:D Owe you a pint when I see you at Dave and Gwynies!;)
