Anyone fancy sharing a lift with me for this race ? The Mercia Machine is not working very well at all !
Was going to head off Saturday morning aiming to get there for 11.00.

You'll probably be through there before to get to Durisdeer by 11 but worth knowing.

Cheers for that info Ali well worth bearing in mind !Quote:

It was well 'ard, a cracking course (too many hills, but quality descents) a beautiful day and other than the info above i think borrowdale won the team prize for the men.
To be reccomended for those that like their hill runs HILLY!

3 Jethro Lennox
4 Rob Hope
5 Simon Booth

That's an awesome run Ben!
Here are some photos I took after finishing:

Unfortunately obviously no photos of the fast runners.
Excellent Chris.
Thanks for sharing them, it looks steep:)
Results are now up:

Not sure how accurate they are - there's one person who finished behind me (you can see it in the pics) who seems to have finished in front of me!
Here are the fully indexed Durisdeer results:

I can't really vouch for whether there are mistakes or not.
Chris,
The mistakes I can see are that I beat Tom Bowie to the finish line and not Tom Ross. I'm also pretty sure I finished in front of Michael Diver but the results have him well up on me. You can see from your photos that he's chronologically behind me. Strange as I never normally see any mistakes in results...
Cheers,
Derek.
I wonder if the results are right - I finished almost last.
Ooops that might be to do with me running slowly!!!!
I've noticed a whole bunch more mistakes with the results, comparing with the Flickr set of photos:

This is where the Carnethy idea of having a video camera running at the finish line would be a good idea to unscramble the finishing order after the event!
Strange stuff. I wonder if Adam's aware of this - I'll maybe email him about it. I've no idea if the mistakes are easily rectifiable mind you...
I'm in the position I finished, but given that I could have clipped Colin's heels over the finishing line I must have extremely long legs - they put a 7 second gap between us!Quote:

There is plenty of scope for error going from hand-written timings, to hastily typed up results.
Perhaps championship fell races should think about using chip timing, with starting/finishing mats to avoid this sort of thing, and you would get accurate results more quickly after the race ....
I see the results have been amended a bit!
Yup - I've done what I can to sort them out based on photographic evidence.
Next time we should be using Sportident for British Championship races to provide instant accurate results with split timings!
Good stuff. Not such an easy task!
Yeah - I think chip timing's a good idea. It's not that huge an overhead and it makes life much easier when you've got a large field...
