Normally, I hardly ever see any other fell runners, but today, on Fairfield I saw around 20. I was going anti clockwise so they were all going clockwise
Just people doing a recce, or is there a sudden boom in fell running?

U23/U20 recce - think it's mentioned on junior section
It was the Grasmere Fells and Tarns LDWA today which goes to Fairfield so I'm pretty sure it will have been these people.
Well also just lots of people reccying for the Champs in 3 weeks time, we saw quite a few yesterday too. Not to mention the lost and now found iPhone. You should have see Coledale last year a fortnight before the race, it was a veritable who's who of fell-running!
Were you wearing a blue t-shirt ? There was 3 of us and a dog, saw you at Dove Crag then in the grounds of Rydal Hall at the finish ? Don't know why you were using your compass at Rydal though, were you lost ????? :) We were doing a recce for the race.Quote:

I may have seen you as you were just coming off the summit - I was running up with my dog Harry. A group of 7 or 8 others wandered into the Rydal tea shop soon after I finished too. Updated my blog with the run here. Fantastic weather eh?Quote:
