I might do it. But having only done 1 fell race so far (and that was only 3 miles :o ) I am a bit scared and having trouble talking myself into this one !:rolleyes:

It's an easy race, and as it's 2 laps you could always bail out out at halfway?

Think me and Juicer might be there.

Will be my 2nd fell race of the year :) to add to "Morning After" on New Year's Day.

So it's 2 laps then? Don't know the area at all...is it grassy, rocky, trails, sheep trods?

I think I might do this one. My brother lives in Ambergate, so I might combine it with a family visit. (Also means I have someone to keep an eye on my daughter during the race).

As for terrain - I'm expecting mud, grass & mud.

Onehillwonder, my presence there will guarantee you won't be the worst fell runner in the field.

Can't be that easy surely. Just had a peek at last year's results, and the winner went round in 50 minutes!

Last person was around 1 hr 41 - could be tough competition for last place :p

My recollection of the course from last year is that there's some track and plenty of mud, but as it's all through the woods, there isn't any grass.

It's very tempting to drop out after one lap. 34 finished at one lap and 132 completed two last year.

Damn - can't do this one, now. I've got to take my daughter to a birthday party at Monkey Magic! That sounds like a load of fun. Oh well, maybe next time.

:D my dad might be coming with me now so there's no backing out!!

I can't do this one this year but it is good fun, I recommend it :) It's hard passing the finish line and forcing yourself out for that second lap though!

Due to injury I'll be there as photographer. So please wear your best frocks!

That was fun! I love mud.

I can see what everyone means about the second lap now - pyschologically challenging to turn away from the finish line.

I'll look forward to the next one.

So you were there too were you Rich?

It was good to meet up with Daleside, Dominion, daz h, and congratulations to OneHillWonder on completing your second fell race.

Who else was there?
