If it keeps people busy looking for it whilst the results come in it might not be a bad thing!Quote:

Looks like there were no cut offs, last was 4.49. Perhaps I was delirious in the excitement of the race ?? Will go faster next time though.

He hasn't received any emails from you - and believes that this is because you are using his old freeserve address. His email address is as per the last Fellrunner [email protected] .
With regard to cutoffs these did exist (I personally posted them on the window in the hall before registration opened) and some of the earlier ones (e.g. CP3 : 1:40) had been made very tight because of the foul weather - but that's Jon's prerogative.
I'm not a fast runner by any stretch of the imagination, but I didn't have any problems making CP3 without getting timed out - as did plenty of others.
On a personal note, I was impressed that Rick Stuart who won the race waited with the race officials until almost 6.00pm to make sure that the last runner came in OK.
Great race, great area!
In which case it would be good if the committee details on the Fellrunner website were update accordingly. I emailed Jon yesterday (about the refusal of the Dentdale organisers to allow substitutions) using the email link on the website which turns out to be the old one! That explains why I didn't get a reply either.Quote:

A grand day out, many thanks. Always wanted to run in the Howgill Fells and really enjoyed their rather massive isolation and all that grass.
I tried my new reverse Wendy Dodds strategy for the first time.
Gave my re-soled Walsh PB Racers a spin too.
A grand day out indeed, thanks to all concerned. First race since march, good to be back. Felt surprisingly good. Nice to see a few forumites, cheers to Witton Park for the shout at the first checkpoint. Clear day meant you could see for miles, but i always fall over when sightseeing!
Brilliant, tough route but is it 14m or 16m?
any news on winners?
Sorry, had a quick look but my memory fails me. I think The Noor was second, about 3 mins behind the winner whose name escapes me. A really good turn-out by Rossendale MV50s, where my interest lies.
ta brotheron lad! obviously someone very memorable then! I'm sure the results will be out in no time anyway! hope you enjoyed the day.
by the way what's the reverse wendy dodds strategy - and did it work?!
Yep, fantastic race and great weather.
Enjoyed seeing that camouflage Dakota flying by (or did I hallucinate that!?)
If it did exist, I think its one run by these guys (scroll down):

Well, all summer I've been setting off in front of Wendy. At about the 2 hour point she bimbles past me, usually deep in conversation, and takes another 20 or 30 minutes off me. Today's cunning plan was to start behind her.Quote:

Apologies for not remembering the winner's name, I'm just being a biff. It's my first fell season, so I'm still learning the ropes (and the personalities). Though Dark Peak and MV40 are ringing bells.
winner was a Dark Peaker in 2:18 but I forget the name too. My Wendy Dodds strategy was to tuck in behind her on the climb to the calf then hang on for dear life. 2 years ago i tailed her off Winder and have used the 'Wendy Dodds line' ever since.
I had the same hallucination:wink:Quote:

I could have got them a bit muddled, but it was to that effect... times approximate.
Being one of the Rossy coffin dodgers,really enjoyed the race today........bit of a bad line on the last descent letting Daz get in front but thats life!Quote:

My thanks to the organisers and marshalls and helpers.
What a muppet! You had a good run for a grumpy old git. Shame you descend like a fairy!Quote:

Well done Steve on your 1st race back.
The run back is a long long way.
Anyone else steal a look at some of those views on the first climb up. I looked left and it was amazing.
No problem - deserved a bit of abuse anyway, having copped out between CPs 1 & 2. Hopefully you're somewhere in amongst this lot, pabc. See here. Dark Peak participants on the DP website photo pages.Quote:

I don't remember any derogatory comments. I wouldn't be bothered anyway! :)Quote:

We planned to stay at the Calf until the first runners came through, but it was bloddy freezing up there, even with the windproofs on, so came back to Sedbergh and watched the top 20 or 20 come in.
I did manage to find the Calders short cut today though - so worth the trip.
Well done everyone - it's a tough run.
cheers greenflash and scodler. looking at the photos it was scodler i called a b*stard. still - you both have an uncanny knack of making me look good. a somewhat unique skill.
Maybe scodler thought you were calling the climb up to the calf a b*stard cos it was in that headwind, you must of looked good no matter how you felt cos the camera never lies;)Quote:

Thanks to the organisors and marshalls - stirling job as ever.
Also thanks to Storyteller and friend and for the offers of various assistance from passers by as I sat in a crumpled delerious heap on a step! Felt rough most of the way round deterioating after each check point, by Calf it was auto pilot survival mode!
Got home to discover my eldest had been in bed all day with a 'bug' so explains why, still rough today :mad:.....still just about managed to get some views when the black dots weren't in front of my eyes!! :eek:
