Reckon I'll stick to something a bit shorter, staying around Borrowdale/Buttermere.
With you there TT, 92 miles seems a bit excessive for day after a Lakeland Classic fell race.... Not sure, even if I had the legs, that I'd have time to do it and still get to Penrith train station to get my train home!Quote:

I've got spare entry. If anyone wants it, give me a ring on 07582514339.
Anyone know if there is a start list / sheet anywhere for this year's race?
Thanks for any help...
Matt
The route for the Honister 92 avoids all the passes until the finish, which just happens to be on top of Honister Pass, so after Borrowdale, its just an undulating ride..........mind you there are some big undulations!
I'm going to do it Chris, with the option at Lorton of missing out the loop out west and going straight from there through Buttermere to Honister. See what time it is when I get to Lorton.Quote:

No problem Steve. Have a great run and let me know how you get on. Looks like you may have a few thundery downpours to add to the excitement. You can buy me a pint if you make it up our way for the Viking Chase in September.
Cheers
Right just carrying out last minute preparations....................this involves eating a large plate of pasta then I'm of to me Mum's for veg curry, chapati's & rice..........I'll be the one waddling to the start line........:)
See you in the morning folks.

Bad luck Manhar, keep smiling though:)
What a great day that was, it was dry and the visibility was good, despite the forecast
Nav error i heard, can anyone confirm ?Quote:

Billy Bland says he was stood at Honister and Ben winked as he passed - clearly he had plenty in the tank, and he knew it!!!
Unlucky for him (holmsey) but good on him for soldering on. Yes real good win for the Noor hes running really wellQuote:

No worries Steve - I had my own mini epic adventure from Scafell onwards.............:oQuote:

Had to scramble / contour to get back on track, crossing Piers gill before taking an almost direct route up Gable (who needs a path pah !). Got to the top in 4 hours dead & realised I wasn't going to get to Honister inside 30 mins, especially as I was unsure of that part of the route (ahem) so took the sensible decision of retiring. All good fun.
Good to see the usual suspects throughout the day including MUD & Sonja for the walk back from Styhead - the chocolate cake was delicious :).
Was feeling quite good looking at my split times eg got to Scafell in 2:25 & even summiting Gable legs felt Ok. I'll be back next year - I'm going to nail this sucker..........:thumbup:

Well done the Noor - makes me especially pleased as my one claim to fame in fell running is that I beat Ben in the Fairfled Horseshoe in 2009 by half a minute (I won't mention that he also did the Keswick Triathlon that morning though!!!).
Excellent photos Ian, as usual.Quote:

Well done, everyone. It was a nice day which just goes to show how much to rely on forecasts. Unfortunately, it wasn't for me yesterday and I retired having made the decision at Bessy Boot but carried on to do a bit on my own before descending back to Rosthwaite. It was a rare treat to see the winners coming in, though. They looked so fresh. Next year I'll be back and properly fit.
Buttock? Descent from Great Gable?Quote:

I've never talked so much in a race! From the start to the bottom of Bessyboot, the climb up Gable (plus Ed), and the mine track to the finish it was non stop! Cost me an hour I reckon!Quote:
