How about.....send everyone the wrong way until a lad in a preston harriers vest wearing glasses appears to which point you send him the correct way.....will you take money for the bribe?

yes
I accept GBP, Euros, and Turkish lire in any denomination
no cheques and no IOU's and must be paid before the start.
I will be easy to spot, I will be in a yellow jacket

Re: Pen-y-Ghent

Probably the toughest race I have done to date.

Just one question....

Where were all the other crap runners?? - I was perilously close to the back of the field!!!

Re: Pen-y-Ghent

Good run Merry, I could tell you had the measure of me after Hull Pot, timed your run-in just right. Al were we talking about kit requirements at last weeks race,sorry I did not introduce myself and Del I remember the puddle but Merry was getting ready to pass me so don't remember anything or anyone at that point, good race and good value at only 6p a minute.

Re: Pen-y-Ghent

Hi. I'm new to this forum, and new to fell running.

The Pen-y-Ghent race was my first proper fell race, and would just like to say thanks to all who organised and competed in the event for making it so enjoyable.

Watching the forecast in the days before, and the conditions around Horton when I arrived earlier in the day I wondered what I'd let myself in for, but someone up there must have took pity on me as it felt not particularly unpleasant whilst up there, and made for great fun in striding out through boggy fields. I even ended up trying to race and keep someone behind me at a few points - I've never experienced that before.

I definitely think I could get hooked on this fell racing lark.

Cheers again folks, and maybe I'll see some of you at future events.

Re: Pen-y-Ghent

Just had a sudden remembrance thought....the flagging in the final mile or so is fantastic!
Didnt have any issues of where i was going and you couldnt have asked for anymore.

I think i quite like that race.:D

No 39. Young lad with purple vest? Yeah i went flying a little way ahead of my coming down the stoney path of PYG.
At first i thought he had cramp and then saw him at the finish with his knee rather gushing with blood.

Both knees Al, and grazes down his chest, but still smiling, tough kid, had a word with him and he was in good spirits, bet the shower scene was worse than 'Psycho' though:eek:

Yep, he went from top 10 to somewhere behind me. A massive slowing down in anyone's book!

Re: Pen-y-Ghent

I was right behind him when he went absolutely flying on the main path coming down(didn't trip him, honest). It looked pretty nasty - surprised how quickly he got up and carried on really.

I went flying past him on the marshy downhill bit. I knew the fact I'd overtaken someone must mean they were injured. Saw him finish though - think he was from Manchester Uni? - and he looked in good spirits.

Re: Pen-y-Ghent

The results aren't up yet on the Settle Harriers site - have they been posted anywhere else or should I just be more patient?

I've no idea where they got them from, but Wharfedale seem to have purloined some incomplete results.
