Obviously sneaked into Lancashire under the radar on sunday!!
hello vince, lets get a few things straight from the beginning, i was running in team 50 ( Rossendale Vets ), my team mate failed to show at the start of our leg ( leg 4 ), i talked to the marshalls on the handover and it was agreed that since my car and warm gear were at the end of the leg i could run on, knowing the team would be disquaified, i thought this was the best way of dealing with the situation, if you bother to check the results you'll see we got a 10 hr penalty for that leg instead of being disquaified,Quote:

Re guards, well if they were lanc/mancs they will be as much use as a chocolate tea pot.
I also think you find that the searchlights and machine guns are designed to keep people in.
Hi Steve, I heard about your team mate doing a no-show and it must be hard for you having to do that, especially as all your stuff was at the other end of the leg. But can I re-straighten the issue I am referring to.Quote:

The check point guys let the next leg 5 team go without having to wait for the 2nd runner catching up.
This was a flagrant breach of the rules as set out on http://www.penninebridlewayrelay.co.uk/rules.htm where it states:
5. Pairs should run together at all times and must be together when entering the changeover.
This was witnessed by a number of people, not just me.
As a firm believer in Fair Play (as well as organising races, countless race results provider) I think the fact that this has just been buried is appalling.
looks like i were barking up the wrong tree but as regarding team 48 there not in the results.Quote:
