Basic Course: 3SHires Inn, Wetherlam, Swirl How, Great Carrs, 3 Shires Stone, Pike o'Blisco, Blea Tarn, Loughrigg, 3 SHires Inn
Loughrigg??
Dont you mean Lingmoor,
I'll be having a plod round this one. I only made it 1/4 way up Wetherlam last year. I was first back to the pub though
That's the one, at least I didn't call it lingmell like I normall do, that'd be a serious race wouldn't it.
I'm hoping to be there if my virus has cleared up :)
when is this so i have some excuse for getting some decent training in
This Saturday
well maybe i have not got time for training but i did have this pencilled inQuote:

Coniston Hall would probably be a better bet and is still within cycling range.Quote:

I think so Carl, this could be subject to change yet. We are going with a non running couple and I dont think they fancy hanging around a race route all day.
So they may decide on somewhere else for a walk, if thats the case Ill drive up to whereever they are after the race.
I'm pushing for Coniston though, but I have to be a bit unselfish:mad: . I have dragged them to a good few races this year I think its wearing a bit thin now.
If it does change will you guys still be joining us, I dont think it will be too far away.
Ill be able to let you know thursday night at the club, sorry to mess you about.
Cheers
Jamie
Right just a couple of questions
1. Is t park as directed, or am I going to have to park somewhere like Blea Tarn
2. Other than a convenient bush will I be able to go for a dump before the race.
Graeme
A field is used for a car park, and there is a pub for the toilet.
Thanks for that, means I don't have to get there for 9 to find somewhere to park.

I really wish I could do this one but my club have a long organised jolly to the Great Langdale half marathon on the Sunday which I'm doing instead :(. Good luck to all though.
I wanted to run this, but I'm injured :mad:
I might come and watch, but then again I might not as it will pee me off even more :(
still crocked Hopey!:(
FFS man your worse than a premiership footballer!!
Any idea on what it is???
Thought about taking up knitting ????;)
I normally have a 3 month injury every year and I think this is it for this year! :mad:
You should come up anyway, if you could meet me at Blea Tarn with a drink that'd be much appreciated ;)
Not sure yet, it will pee me off not being able to run.Quote:

I'm quite keen for it to be honest.
You can see if the dog will have anything to do with you if you come up.
Can't give you a lift though we're away after the race. All the way to Coniston!!!
Any chance of getting a lift up with anyone from Leeds ? was going to camp but I really need to get back Sat.night now. Share petrol costs obviously. Will be eternally gratful :D
I was gonna do but Burnley are entertaining Blackpool at weekend at Turf Moor so im going watching thatQuote:

Great fun.
Well done to the organisers for a cracking race.
Cracking field of runners: Ricky Lightfoot, Johnny Bland, Jim Davis, Morgan Donally, Nick Sharp, Danny Hope, Pete Vale, Karl Gray, John Hunt etc. etc.
I think, but am not sure, that 1,2,3 was Ricky, Jim, Karl.
Yet another cracking race.
Nice to meet emilou and thanks to Huw and Moo for the cheerleading at the
start.:rolleyes:

We're pretty pleased with this effort as there's a bit more to it than normal. Have a look and see what you think.
Great video - but the accompanying sound track does nothing for it
and get someone to move their finger out of the way in the latter stages
Fair comment. Music's a bit of a personal thing and believe me I wish my finger was out of the way. By that stage I was quite surprised to be compis mentis enough to work the camera at all!
Great video. I like the music too.
I liked it too.
fell on my arse enough without any video camera.
Well done mate. Good one of me coming into the finish.
Rossy vest and pink bumbag.:p
