Lovely words from Hazel before the start - I did think of Brian as I ran along the main ridge, and despite the tragedy of it all, he did pick a bloody amazing place in which to leave us.

Well done as well to Scoffer, surely the patron of the fell running peloton, for his words beforehand.

When all is said and done, despite the unnecessary politiking from some parties, and the problems we've seen for poor old race organisers this year, I bloody love fell running, and I love being amongst the likeminded folk who get out and race on days like yesterday.

Still buzzing!

Only just come across this, but what a great post. Didn't do the race myself, but it's still good to read things like this amidst all the hard times.

Morning all

Just a plea for helpers/marshals for Buttermere Sailbeck next Saturday - if anyone can spare a few hours to help me out I would be VERY grateful! You don't necessarily have to be a checkpoint marshal, I could do with some help at the finish or with results too. Free Tea and cake provided for all helpers.
Any offers of help gratefully received, please ask around.

Looks like being a good sized field despite the Champs clash.
Thanks

Rhys

Count me in RFR

What are the chances of this race filling up with pre entries?
150 doesn't seem a lot and am wanting to enter on the day
cheers Jamie

Rhys says it's fine to enter on day. See you there.

Great thanks!

Many thanks to all involved today. Rhys' efforts much appreciated in our house - got to be a contender for best (m) fell race.

Top marks to Registration / kit check team and to the marshals. Hope the weather felt as good for you as it did for us.

Beer in The Fish, sun came out what more is there to want.

Results already,

Loved this race and already can't wait for next year. Professional, yet friendly and supportive Marshalls & organisation. Perfect weather for what I would consider a perfect medium length fell race in the mountains. The final descent was Ace!!!
