Thanks for the splits - really helpful! Got my letter :w00t:
I have a place but like an idiot forgot about my son's 4th birthday party so can't do it now, if anyone wants my place please let me know and PM me your address, I can then send you the details, all you have to do then is take my confirmation letter on race day and inform the organiser.
Race place now taken:thumbup:Quote:

I've not heard anything yet! Has everybody had a response of some sort?
yup, got a form to fill in and bring on the day. Needless to say I'm expecting to forget it...

If it's clear I reckon somewhere on the side of Gable with a pair of binoculars would be good - you can see most of the corridor route from there. Across from the scree descent off Scafell Pike (so side of Broad Crag), would be alright too.Quote:

Hi,
I'm also looking for a last-minute Borrowdale entry if anyone has another entry they no longer need (after Rollerblader of course).
Thanks, Jasmin
Hi
Me to,would like to run Borrowdale if possible.Third in the queue after Jasmin.
Cheers Davie
Hi everyone,
What is the best map I can get as a back up for the Borrowdale race. I am going to get the race map, but thought I may as well get one of the surrounding area as well (as I seem to be there quite often at the moment). I'm looking for a laminated map if possible and would like it in 1 - 25000 if available.
Any ideas ??? :D
Dan
I was converted to Harvey maps after doing the SLMM. One of these would be ideal Dan. Amazon was as cheap and easy as anywhere when I looked
Agree, Harvey's maps are best. ydt
Thanks have ordered one of these now.Quote:

If he or she has not previously completed the Borrowdale Fell Race, the substitute runner must have completed at least two different category A or B long or two different category A medium fell races (race categories as defined by the Fell Runners’ Association) since 1st January 2010."
Does this mean we have to email the RO with our experience prior to the race or can we just stick the details on the substitution form?
I am still looking for an entry, if anyone can help.
I Have an entry going spare, glass ankles cannot cope with the rigours of long fell races, pm me.
Does anyone know if there are water stops at the checkpoints? I'm just trying to plan the contents of my bum bag so I can pack ... unpack ... repack ... unpack it again ... faff about a bit ... retail ... you get the idea!
Entry taken, all the best for a good weather day and excellent runs all round.
Cheers

I have an entry going spare - PM me

At checkpoints you are relying on people you know bringing drinks, and the good will of a few other kind hearted souls, but water is not a problem. Several places you cross clean water - on the path above esk hause you cross a good source, several places coming down the corridor. Small backpacks with bladders make life a whole lot easier!Quote:
