Bloody cold, wet and windy day marshalling up on a short score checkpoint. 6 hours of wind and rain froze us both, far better to be active. About 2 pairs came through looking happy, all the rest seemed to be swearing and chucking things about - something to do with tussocks :rolleyes:.
Decided not to join the campsite and came home via the Rhayader chippy for a hot bath. Alarm set for 4.30am, see what tomorrow brings but we didn't recognise anyone today.
Drove back from N Wales this pm ... cold, wet, very windy... glad my partner's chosen to do the New York Marathon next week so I have a valid excuse for not being there!
Most people would just settle for a pie and a double helping of chips...:DQuote:

If anyone wants a punch-up, just sidle up to a forumite who did B class and say 'Day 2, checkpoint 9' .........and run away, fast!:D
I now officially have trench foot. The WORST underfoot conditions it has ever, in my 23 years of fell running, been privileged to experience.
Oh stop the whinging :D:D You knew what to expect, you received it, move on!!
But.. well done you!
Now found him..110th on B class - just under 12hrs - well done Simon the pre-OMM prep. obviously paid off!
You ought to be thankfull we've had a long dry autumn over the Elan, now if it had been a wet one there would have been something to moan about ........:p.Quote:
