A big thanks to Scoffer and the crew - I didn't mind the shorter course one bit ;) If the 40 -45 minutes time difference is to be believed then it was an effective PB by 40 minutes :D Could be difficult to beat on the full course!
The shots of me - 1857 & 2286 actually make it look as if I am running :rolleyes: though they do nothing for my figure.
In that case he was put in a difficult position, glad he missed out Scafell rather than cancel.Quote:

i cannot see any relevance to edale, at edale you just turn right and drop back down , thats not really the case at borrowdale. anyway if people didnt like it im sure scoffer would have just said tough shit, he said he had taken advice from MR and as far as im concerned we can all go back next year and do it again if we wish.
Missed all that as had to get home :( will be there next year though.Quote:
then didnt stop dancing with all the forumites in the markee, last thing i remember was jumping around in a ring with emmi, rob jebb, luv shack and god knows who else , absolutley great .
it doesnt get better than that , wild or what
Hobbits can fly just glad there was no pictures near the finish, got shouted at to start running again :o

It really is a shame that the route had to be changed – at first I thought that Scoffer had done it just so that his committee pals could get round in under four and a half hours! Almost worked too – though I notice Breezie bottled out altogether.
Interestingly, the theoretical forty minutes advantage created by the removal of Scafell Pike managed to achieve less than 15 minutes improvement on Billy’s record. That says something!
Seriously, I can’t really see how Scoffer could have chosen to ignore the advice of the rescue team – I know he got a lot of stick (much from his own club!), but what could he really do, under the circumstances?
I hope that all this was discussed with the rescue team after the race. Last Friday’s Mountain Weather Information Service weather forecast for the Lake District accurately predicted what the weather would do – including the abatement of the wind on Saturday. I’m sure that even mountain rescue teams from Preston are capable of reading a weather forecast.
There have been comparisons made with the decisions at the Edale Skyline, including some silly statements about the difference in terrain making the decision easier. All I can say is that most deaths in the Dark Peak have occurred because people haven’t given the high plateaux of Kinder and Bleaklow the respect they rightly deserve.
Be careful – it’s not a jungle out there!
i thought for one minute you was going to congratulate all the no hopers , myself included for finishingQuote:

Plus was great to see everyone again and hope you all enjoyed it! :confused:
Little hint for everyone!!!
If you see blood covering a rock up ahead you should be thinking it looks slippy becarefull!!
Not ooo I bet that hurt.....ooo eck its my turn now!!
Fortunatly I managed to use my knees and hip to cushion my fall against the soft and springy slate!!!!
Got loads of admiring glances on the run in with blood on the knee thou! Made an effort to avoid the fearns on the way down so they didn't brush it away for maximum effect!!! :D :D
Well congratulations, Daz h!! – I hope you enjoyed the race. I think anybody who got around did well – no matter what time they did. The bogs were pretty sloppy and some of the streams were deep – it certainly made it hard to maintain a good pace over the Bessy Boot, Glaramara, Allen Crags section.Quote:

Nor do I think that we should pester race organisers about this. As can be seen from some of the comments here, it is a tough job organising any fell race – even tougher if it’s as popular and as demanding as Borrowdale.
Yes well done, Daz h – and also well done Scoffer (and all his helpers). It was a hell of a job – and you did us proud.

That's really annoying when people leave their blood all over a rock - it doesn't half make it slippery! Sorry Calf - hope you're ok.Quote:

By the way, Moo, hope Anna's ankle is ok. It didn't look good when we were sat outside the village hall having tea & butties.
I'll see your 'don't look happy' and raise you with my 'I think I'm going to be sick':Quote:

Just got back - what a fantastic race!! I must admit to being a little disappointed when Scoffer announced the route change, but coming off Dale Head I could have given the MR guys a big kiss of thanks!!:D
!
I make it around 50 mins (based on last year), 1.9 miles and 1000ft less -although some of that would have been made up for by the effort of pulling people out of bogs!! I felt as knackered as last year anyway....
Didn't go in the Marquee, but the steel band sounded great in the field outside after several old peculiers!!
Roll on next years!!!
