Damn. Missed all the fun! Hope it went OK - a few interesting bits of " route choice " by some.

That appears to the most popular place to go wrong, 3 went to the right, 1 went left.Quote:

Where's the results????
Come on that IT bloke, stop drinking beer and get to it..............:D :D.
Still tracking by the look of it? :D
I assume the provisional results are here http://leaderboard.opentracking.co.uk/sbb2014.cfmQuote:

For anyone monitoring this race with the thought of entering next year, I strongly recommend that you do. Wheeze has brought in technology with great success and the route is fantastic. Good quality running, ascents, descents and ridges in an underestimated area of the country offering fantastic views.
Congratulations Wheeze and thank you. See you at another race soon.
Marg, there will be a full write up in the fullness of time and some early thoughts will appear hear over the next few days.Quote:

I'm full of admiration for everyone getting round today and, yes, the link you give is the provisional results.
I'm not up to posting anything more tonight but before I sign off I want to give a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who helped out today. I know how precious time is so give up a full day (and in some cases more) to help put this on is beyond the call of duty.
Stand up and be counted;
Manhar,
Biara
Dick Finch
Derek Thornley
Boy Wonder
Mrs and Mrs Molehill
Douglas Adlam
Rod the Rally and his mate Stan
The MadRunner
Sorelegs
Dominion
Alex Blease
and, of course, Toffer.
Plus Always Injured and Fellhound who assisted with the original planning and AI for the website. There were other offers of help, not taken up, for which I am grateful too
Its people like you, giving freely and cheerfully of your time that makes doing something like this so wonderful.
And so to bed!
Glossopdale trio (Sue, John4of5, OB1) back in Longdendale after a super super day. Off to get some scran - will post more of our experience later.
Thanks so much to all those involved, for laying on such simple sophistication!.
