Is there usually camping on the parking field on the Saturday night? Might see if there is space at Braithwaite Bridge.
Footpath is now clear. Went along it last weekend, Scotgate Campsite to Stair no problem. Easier than walking the lanes or adding to the traffic queue.Quote:

Make sure you look behind for us teenagers, can't promise a smile though ;)
To Wynn and co for a brilliant day :D My first AW and hopefully I'll be back, lovely folks, lovely route, great atmosphere and really well organised... Thankyou
Many many thanks to Steve and Wynn and all your wonderful team for putting on such a fantastic race. My first one and conditions good, route amazing and views were fantastic. Free beer as well, and brewed by the awesome Hawkshead Brewery, it doesn't get any better.
I will be helping next year, my preference would be pulling pints, heh heh.
Seriously tho, will help with anything, will catch up nearer the date.
Teenager photos (start) are online now at

You must have been one of the earlier finishers.Quote:

2.13 I think, so behind the world probably!
I'd like to reiterate Clive's sentiment: thanks to Steve, Wynne et al for a superb race with a great atmosphere. It was also my first Waltz but hopefully the first of many. I thought the weather was great as, like Clive, I snuck round before the visibility reduced. I'm certainly glad it wasn't as hot as Friday as I would have struggled!
Thanks for a great race and excellent organisation. My second time and I'll be back again. I bought the race map for TWA, but that might be as far as I go!!

Link here to start and finish of yesterdays anniversary waltz. Apologies to the winnner, I wasn't expecting him to be back that quick and hence he doesn't feature at the end!

thanks again for a great day , from me for the waltz and from tom for the wa!
A brilliant race. My first time. Many thanks indeed to all of those involved, much appreciated.
Must remember to pace better next time. My legs felt shot just before the climb up to Hindscarth!
Anyone seen the results?
All of my photos of the race(s) are now online.
lets have some faces put to some (probably not real) names. I now know what Alf owler looks like (I was chatting to Pauline at last gate)
I was on the Hindscarth this morning and found a pair of waterproof trousers. Anyone lost a pair on the race?
Thanks for a brilliant race Steve and Wynn.
Is it just me or has the Anni Waltz site been hacked?
Thanks for organising a great race btw!
hacked , idiots
Yep, some little scrote hacked it while you were running... I'll post the results on here til we can sort the website
W
should get them done tomorrow
W
I did email the person to tell (him?) what I thought about the hacking and what I thought about them , similar to your sentiments WynnQuote:

Thanks Wynn and Steve. Will be there next year hopefully and this time I'll order a t-shirt!

All pain and no smiles! I was enjoying it though, really!

Been hacked myself 5 times in the last two weeks, climaxing in them deleting everything including all the server based e-mail. Still trying to work out how that happened!!Quote:

Would like to get hold of the rat, he would never do it again.
Not being computer savvy etc (sadly) if it's been hacked and entries were paid online, where do we stand with that?? Are our details not compromised??
Excellent race btw - nice to see the weather was ordered again, fabulous organisation from Wynn, Steve and crew, a top day out
Cheers
As usual, brilliant organisation from Wynn and Steve and the big team that help them. The marshalls, cakemakers, registration helpers, and anyone else who make this special event happen. THANKYOU.
A good run myself and nice to bump into Joss on the way round who promptly pointed his stick towards Catbells and said. Yon dawn that path lad. Fantastic.
Spent the last part of the race with Andy from Dark Peak who just pulled away from me off Catbells as my legs had gone. The feedback from some of the new Pennine lads Wynn was very good. Proving that this continues to welcome new fellrunners to Lakeland racing. Combined with the Junior races and the Teenager it is one of the highlights of the racing season.
A brilliant race and I was well pleased to just dip under the 2 hour mark im 38th. Mind you legs still feel shot so no running for past two days. Thanks to wynn, Steve and all the marshalls and helpers at the hall.
we use a different company for the shopping cart and payment - so it should be fineQuote:

My main aims for next year are (i) to get round under two hours, and (ii) to look less like Dennis the Menace's ugly cousin whilst doing it.

Thanks to Wynn & all for an excellent and well organized race, my first AW and hopefully will be back for another or even TWA. Great to have races for such a wide range of youngsters as well, my 2 kids + 2 nephews did the junior races and enjoyed themselves.
I too had a stick waved at me by Joss!
Looking forward to seeing the results.
S
i am just really please me penguin T-shirt last another classic weekend..
nice to wyn and steve and the rest of em again, thynks :p
No doubt you did overtake given your result. I definitely need to work on my climbing and leg strength for descents (my quads still hurt), as I don't get out of smoggy London often enough. I really loved the race - my second proper fell race, with the first being Langdale last year - and actually think (purely out of luck rather than judgement) I paced it well given my weedy legs. Hopefully I'll be along next year.Quote:
