Had planned to do this but am saving miself for Blencathra midweeker next Wed. Don't think the hamstring would survive Pen Y Ghent and be OK for Wed unfortunately. Enjoy it and have a gud un.

Re: Wot no thread for Pen-Y-Gh

I'm also planning Blencathra (after Waughs Well on Tuesday ~ must be mad) so I'll watch out for you. Whilst I've never done it before I don't think there's usually a big entry for that one.

No -one else doing Pen-y-ghent ????.......looks like I might win it then!

Re: Wot no thread for Pen-Y-Gh

It's gonna be a warm one.........21 degrees outside already at 09.27hrs. I don't thinkthere's any chance of hail stones the size of golf balls like we had about 10 years ago. I was bruised for days afterwards!

Re: Wot no thread for Pen-Y-Gh

its was a great day out today, nice talking to all the forumy folk and penyghent is a lovely run especialy on a day as warm and dry as today, but i feel so dreadful about the chap that died in wales doing the same sport as we did today. Its awful.

Hard Luck

It is a race Preston Harriers have chosen for their club champs so there will be a few of us at least!

Re: Pen y Ghent

And a CVFR club champs race...
... and the Yorkshire championship race, too !

That means lots of people in front of me. As long as I can keep Weetabix Power within visible distance (with or without binoculars) that will be enough for me, since he's threatening to runaway with our club vets title this year. :)

Re: Pen y Ghent

First back, first Fell Pony that is, only Fell Pony i think, so i was last as well:cool: Cracking race, thanks Settle Harriers and marshals. Weather stayed fine, bit humid, but you could feel the temperature drop at the summit. Good descent back with a bit of a sting in the tail at Whitber Hill, looked worse than it was from a distance. Bumped into my old Physical Training Instructor from my TA days, used to run it every year and once came third. Must be approaching 70 now and still looked as fit as he used to. All in all a good day out, hope me legs are up to the Hebden Bridge tommorow, a few leg loosening cider's required now;)

ah, the penny's just dropped, from your avatar I thought you were the guy at the back in the picture but obviously not.
Think I was talking to you pre and post race and finished a few secs behind you. Also saw you camping at duddon last week.
Anyways, good to meet you and good luck with the run down south next week (assuming you are the bloke I was talking to eh).
I hope to have a little left to get me around ennerdale next weekend, argh!

Thanks Andy - weather is so good I think I will expunge my hangover at the BoFRA race at Kettlewell, I think Hebden is a bit beyond me today as I hope to do Otley 10 on wed and Millenium relay next week.

Settle Harriers huh? How crap are they? ;). Not only did they crock my knee running with them two weeks ago but, adding insult to injury, they are incapable of posting results too! I'll tell 'em......... next time I'm capable of running anywhere.

Re: Pen y Ghent

It's not fair, last year 1st V60 at P-Y-G did 72 minutes, I am thinking "wow":cool: I can beat that, but, they all come out of the woodwork, 2 V60 champs plus some other pilchard, did 70 minutes and got 4th V60.
Come on the Forum to check the race and find a WATTO, can't be two of them?,:confused: the one I know is a quiet grey haired man at UWFR, are you "He"? or are you the son of Watto.
