Shame about the late arrivals and their attitude towards you and the check point staff - completely out of order, ignore them, they should clearly take up another sport.

Thanks again.

No worries, we aim to please.

Glad to report that the dog medevaced off Cribyn has made a full recovery and in fact donated blood last night :)

Who's out for this on Sat? Great little short race.

Short?? Maybe by strict criteria but its a tough as many mediums!
Little??? Remember that word when you face up 'the wall' on Cribyn. And again when your heels finally burst into flames on the long ridge down from Pen Y Fan!!!

I'm lovin' it and hope to be there.

Under the old (proper) criteria, where race lengths were categorised according to record times, it would have been a medium; a short had to have a record under 40 mins and this one is 52.59 ;)

Can't get there this time but it sounds like a crackin race - must get there next year!

Whoops, should of said...calling all hardened fell runners. :-)

Its 5 mile so a short in my eyes. Ok yes the climbing makes it a tough old race but even i scraped around it when i was weighing in at non fellracing friendly 14 stone a few years back (Bloody killed me mind) and look forward to the quad burning climb up to cribyn again.

Try, letting go of the brakes...never suffered with heel burn.

Then you ain't lived! Only happens with brakes fully off😃

Well...if i am i'll give you a little cheer on in. What vest do i look out for? :)

erm, an 'orrible, tattered, sweat stained, stretched and moth eaten yellow number with an inverted V black band. Also worn by the probable winner, a certain P Ryder.
