Sat night myself, Monkey and Roger Rabbit will be carousing in the Swinside and then I will be sleeping under the slowly dripping barrel of ale, on the floor of the village hall. I therefore have far more important things to do than merely posting on this forum:p

Well my money's definitely on Fellrunner - but you can choose me if you like, JJ. (Just don't tell Chris).

As i have no idea how fast you run hopey are you ok with the odds of 14/1? pm milli with any bet you want to make yourself. she takes credit cards

14-1 I don't think I'll be coming in first from the forum.

All depends on how much I drink with NotOnURHelly tonight :eek:

Looking forward to meeting you on Saturday Mud. Say hello. You know what I look like!:)

Re: Anniversary Waltz

Oh come on Jamie, be fair!! I'm bad enough running forwards - I don't need handicapping any more by running backwards!!

Daz, I think it's easier to list the forumites who aren't running!! Forum photo on the start line at 11-20?

I might be one of the last to finish but am hoping to be in the top half of the field when we reach Robinson. Hope they are doing split times this year!

Re: Anniversary Waltz

Just in case I can't find any paths, given good visibility, can you see Dalehead Tarn from Dalehead?

Mud, did you ever get a lift from Keswick?
20-04-2007, 04:55 PM
Mud

Re: Anniversary Waltz

No, but you can see Launchy Tarn and heading to the right of that will do.

Re: Anniversary Waltz

The right? Really?

Mud

Re: Anniversary Waltz

It doesn't matter hugely in clear weather, as once you clear the brow Dale Head tarn comes into view.

Just follow Geoff B and Daz ;)

I will hopefully be heading towards Launchy Tarn but that's because I'm going the wimp's way that alwaysinjured showed us. For you fast descenders you should carry straight on at Dale Head and when it starts to drop steeply you will see Dale Head Tarn (if it's clear!)

Re: Anniversary Waltz

Thanks Mud.

Who to win the race outright? I don't know many English runners, there's just too many of you, but I recognise Scoffer, Nimrod Lockwood, Jon Broxap & Mark Palmer has been tearing up the hills in South Wales.

Any other potential winners?

It'll be interesting to see how the Mynydd Du get on in this race. Mark Palmer's going well and Dave Finn isn't usually that far behind.

Re: Anniversary Waltz

Them's proper hills.

Despite the fact that I should have been given a handbag & called Cindy for my descents off Dale Head & Cats Bells I got round in 1:46:26. Somewhere along the route I was Mudged, I'm going to have to pick my races more carefully ;) .

The only new forumite I met was Swoop's fellrunning mistress Emmilou :D . This is all my fault as before a race I'm a bag of nerves & afterwards we shot off for a meal.

Hope everyone enjoyed their day as much as me.....I even got sunburn :cool: ......but no cakes :( .

Re: Anniversary Waltz

My shoulders are burnt and my feet are covered in Compeed plasters, I don't think the blisters had healed since Rivington Pike.

I met
Slow Coach
Daz H
Geoff B

And to be honest I'm too tired to think of who else :rolleyes:
