Apparantly there is a picture of me from 2008 lying on the ground fast asleep, comotose like, any one got an idea where? I have searched the thread with a fine tooth comb, and I can't find it, also searched the forum in general too. Any ideas?
Cheers.
Oh and this was a really hard race to do with a possible cracked knee cap! Still just over 4 hours will do for me, suffering now though!
Brillant photo's, god I look rough though!!!Quote:

Saw it a couple of days ago and was amused.... Little did I know then just how bloody tough this race was!!!
Many thanks to the race organisers and marshalls for setting up a splendidly tough event. Will be back next year to try and do a bit better!
yes that's the one, thanks very much!! (really) It was my first long fell race ever, I'd decided on the spur of the moment, 45 minutes before it started to get from Sowerby Bridge to the start!
Made it with 5 minutes to spare...little did I realise how tough this race was! I vowed never to do it again!!! Until it became a club championsip race this year. The new finsih leg was much tougher than I thought it would be, Cheers

I ran a few races on a cracking knee cap earlier this year, and I ended up with a properly broken knee cap on Nab Scar, more than 2 months ago and still walking with a leg brace. Big respect on finishing such a long race with it though.Quote:

a lot of long, flagged sections out on the open fells - first time I've seen that
but brilliantly organised, marshalled etc, thanks to all concerned, including the many photographers out there on what started off as a grim old day
