Strange things happening mid field at Coniston race.
Or could it be I've just not come across it before.
First one climbing to Wetherlam a female sat nav voice came out of the guy I was following quoting distances, and times, and how many calories he'd burnt in the last ten minutes, Ban him and his device, I don't want to here it.
Second one going up prison band another guy gets camera out and starts taking pics of competitors in front, I'm busting my ass, he's snapping away. He doesn't deserve a ban, if he's feeling that good that he can take snaps racing at Coniston then let him.
Is this just a mid field thing, or Do Tom, Ted and Mr Holmes take pics of each other as they listen to their female robot voice offering up stats on their progress.
Theres a few strange folk creeping into fell running, come to think of it, I think that's always been the case.
Just to level things up, great race, and I'll be back for that one.

First time I've needed to use a compass in a fell race. Wonder if that aforementioned digital talky lady would've known the way. Bet she would.
Good race
Indeed.
How many sheep-like fell runners following the runner in front are equivalent in navigational power to one Garmin with compass, downloaded route on map etc plus the comfort of a female voice?
Were do you get these contraptions.i want one
When I got to old man I was totally on my own and although I'd never done it in a race I opted for the tourist path for safety more than any hinge. I lost 20 odd positions but did the right thing.coniston will be there next year and cud be better conditions
Its the first race I have had to pull out off and retire. I got to just before the summit at Wetherlam and was totally on my own (last runner) managed to find another runner and we made the very difficult decision to retire and come back via Levens Water, we would have got timed out at Swiral anyway, we made a pact to come back next year though. We were very grateful to see the marshalls and mountain resuce guys!
