Well Done Dale, while you were dashing up to the relays we were out for a walk with Joss

Funnier still was when one of the HBT leg 3 pair was still in the portaloo in the warm-up/changeover area as their leg 2 runner came in.

Cheers Pete, Our team was slightly weakened but we put up a good fight. Chuffed to come in 4th v40 team on leg 1.
Sounds like you had an interesting day [/U]

Can't have travelled that badly. 1st Vets Team , beating Dark Peak by more than 12 mins and fastest Vets legs on all four legs !!!!!

Does anyone have a copy of the Nav leg they can put up?

I just wonder as someone who would have done it had I been able to run and I reccied in the Summer and ran the Lomonds of Fife race so am interested to see if my prep would have stood me in good stead.

They dont have much young blood coming through in the club really, they usually scout off other clubs so watch out ino one of our members was asked if he wanted to join Borrowdale luckily he declined.

I bet most clubs will be pretty envious of Borrowdales achievements this year-2nd in the British open, 1st in the vets, won the Hodgson outright for the 14th year on the trot, won the vets team at the fra's and some very good individual performances throughout the year. I dont know which runners you are referring to that have been poached from other clubs but you're obviously an expert on the subject so spill the beans.

Theres no disputing the fact that they have been the most success British fell running club, but will they be that way in say 10-15 years time ??, the runner im referring to was Chris newman a friend of mine from the club.
