What fabulous weather too.
My first lakes race and man that was tough!
My legs were shot after THAT climb up Robinson! Struggled on all the inclines thereafter. Need to do some musclebuilding exercises me thinks.
I was pleased to get within my 3 hour target at 2.55. (although secretly hoping for 2.30! :D) Need get more practise on the hills and get faster for sure!
Great to see everyone....the usual suspects DJ and AK, Emmi and Daz, Turbo,.....Harry HH and Al well done on your cracking runs! Good to see Freckle (sorry you got lost...I feel awful for going off now! But it was a case of head down and keep moving!)
Met Skennaugh for the first time and also Pudgy looking very relaxed on catbells.
Herakles....well done for doing your best Matt...you were brave...sorry to hear you didn't get round....there's plenty more out there waiting for you though :cool:

Hi MG, I saw you come in at the Anni but didn't get a chance to say Hi. You were looking good though and hopefully we'll catch up at Fairfield. Was really great to see so many forumites and a big thank you to all the organisers and marshalls. It was such a great race, couldn't have asked for any more, friendly, great weather, views, killer ascents (and descents in my case) and lovely tea and cakes.

Where did you go wrong hun? Did you go all the way down the walkers route to the bottom of Catbells??? :confused:
I had better say....YES...it is highly possible to take the wrong route off the top of Fairfield! :p

May see you at Fairfield

Wahey! First Pony! http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/forum/...ile_smiley.gif
don't think I'll make Fairfield - probably be doing the more local (to me) Mount Famine, or if I can swing another pass-out past Lady Slugge I'll probably head for Snowdonia for Moel Eilio
Fairfield is a cracker though - you'll definitely need to train for the long descent http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/forum/...ted_smiley.gif
and it's very easy to go wrong on the way down - the year I did it one guy ended up in Ambleside! (not me, honest!)

Well done MG
You did well. That climb up Robinson is tough first time around. Good on you for your 1st lakes race.
Sorry if the take your top off tip seemed a bit blunt at the start. But it was hot yes

Yeah but come on.....How can you expect me to be able to spell it when I dont even know what it is.

P.S. I did actually suspect it would be a bucket ;)


Oh and Ian, are we re-creating history via myself coming to marshall with you at yonder Fiendsdale?

Dave, I would like to think so. However, a change of job meams that I have to work 2 Saturdays out of 3 and it's a pig of a rigmarole to swap shifts. So I might not make it. Hate the idea of letting down Andy ( RO ), or Les the RO of the Bleasedale Circle

Ah, a slight bugger!

Give me a shout if you ever need any marshalling help in the future!

Oh and whilst we are on the topic (sort of)...Some time ago somebody told me dogs are allowed up certain parts of Bowland? I always hoped to be able to take me yound pouch up Bowland but is it not to be?

Dogs will be OK on the front of Parlick - supposedly common land, but watch out for livestock, be ready to put the pooch on a lead.
When the "Right to Roam" came in, estates had a deadline by which to apply for an exclusion against dogs, even on a lead ( so I am told ). Seemingly the Bleasedale Estate got theirs in; so no dogs on the back of Parlick, Fairsnape Fell ( Paddy's Pole ) right around the head of the River Brock - Fiendsdale Head, Holme House Fell & Hazelhurst Fell. This also applies to the Duchy of Lancaster estate - around Grisedale Head - and the Grosvenor ( Duke of Westminster ) estate at Abbeystead ( all of Wyresdale, Littledale and Roeburndale ). I'm only aware of one estate that failed to get their application in ( owner lives overseas ) and seemingly something of a bitter pill with them; and we need their co-operation for a couple of our races. So best not upset the apple-cart.
It's all to do with the fact that roaming dogs will scare parent ground-nesting birds off their nest, long term; hence failure to rear the chicks. This includes grouse, on which the sporting estates are totally dependent for their income.

50 entries in for the Waltz:w00t:

Just want to check a couple of things
Firstly I was 17 on the 1st Jan but am now 18.....can I do any of the races????
And cos I dont have any way of entering online-no cards/bank account could someone enter me and il pay em with and get em a pint when I see them
Cheers

I'm going up and back in the day for the Teenager, so an early start. Not sure how I'm getting there yet, but you're welcome to a lift if I'm driving. Did you get my email I sent you a while back about getting up for StefF's BG? You haven't changed your email address have you?
