HH,

Good effort at Wansfell; I think John Akkie is no slouching potato....

Why no running at the Winter League?

Good to see you back Noor, would love to hear about your travels some time. I had a bit of a flyer at Wansfell. Just decided to go out hard and see what happened. Plan worked ok. I just wanted to make sure everything worked well at Scout Scar regards the organising so I'd decided not to run. Saving myself for some of the steeper ones. You planning to do any?

I haven't seen any results!

In fact, looking at previous years - I've been sent any!

What do you expect when theres no entry fee, no prizes......now theres no results :rolleyes:

HH,

I'm afraid the travelling tales are woefully short... and remarkably uninteresting.

Yes, I think Troutbeck and Elterwater are in our club championship so I'll do those two and any others nearby.

Brett,

I am surprised how few results you get up on the website. I would have thought organisers would be keen to get them posted. If I find any that aren'y listed do I just email you the link? I know I've asked before but my memory is like a colander (I believe this to be bigger than a sieve), SH*T that reminds me, I've left my onion soup on the stove....

...soup fine, although somewhat salty.

Getting back to the results - I really don't know why there is another website with a results service (www.fellrunning.org.uk). It does almost exactly what this results service does, why didn't he offer to take over the running of this web-page and advance it?

Heck I thought i was doing quite well, look at the increase in results form 2004 to 2006!!

I would appreciate anybody sending results in!!

Hopefully this year we'll have more results from the other home countries!!

My dear Brett,

i did not mean to imply that you weren't putting in the effort, as I know you are. It was simply that there seemed to be lots of spaces where results should be fitted in, but organisers obviously hadn't sent them.

**TERRIBLY SORRY FOR ANY OFFENCE I HAVE CAUSED***

As a matter of interest the Wansfell race is missing from the 2007 Calendar since I haven't received any information about it yet.

Talking of races not in the calendar...

Can anyone tell me any details r.e. the Silver Howe-Loughrigg Chase race that seems to take place each March without me being informed. Why is it so hush-hush?

Yours Sincerely,

So, do any of the Ambleside AC forumites know the date of this years Wansfell Race, as it doesn't seem to be in the FRA fixtures. I need to make sure I get the right dates off work over the festive period.
Cheers.

Its been the 27th December for as long as I can remember, tricky if you have to sneak out of work to run it in your lunch break, always the "sorry I won't be back in this afternoon I've broken my ankle having lunch" paranoia.

Can anyone confirm whether Wansfell race will be happening on Dec 27th?

we had a last ditch appeal for someone to organise the race otherwise it won't happen? anyone fancy it?

Spread the word to technophobes please!!
Wansfell Fell Race - Thursday 27th December 2007

Prizegiving, drinks and mince pies will be available for runners down at the Lakes Runner shop in Ambleside after the race.

See you there

Dan Duxbury

£1 entry fee? Thats gone up a bit since i last did it. Blatant profiteering if you ask me:D

Well done Ambleside. I'm glad you've got an organiser. I think that'll be my next race.

Brilliant news. It's one of my favourites. That's a lot of mince pies if it's as popular as last year.

Thankyou Ambleside.

Thanks Dan - with a bit of luck the info is whizzing round Keswick, now just need to get the time off work (unlikely :( ).

It's entry on day only so you'll not miss out.:)

Thanks Dan for running with this one. Hopefully see you there!

27th December is a 'normal' working day for me so l'll have to wait until 2008 when it's on a Saturday.

See you then :)

Mapper, surely you can arrange a client visit out of the office on this day. One which will be close to Wansfell.
Alsoran, usually manages this well!!!
I'm working on it ????

mmmmm!! I did Blisco a couple of years ago, camped over after a few beers, then went to Kendal office the following day. That's the time when Alsoran forgot his sleeping bag ~ if you've not heard that story just ask him, I'm sure he'd love to tell it again :)

Hey leave me alone - I'm taking a days holiday for this race!!

Bumping the thread to the top - in the interests of public information!!!
Sorry

Well to celebrate that bump it seems I've actually got the time off work, now if I get rid of the throat infection, do some training and eat slightly less, I may not be last! So long as I make it to the start line.

That's good to hear Chris. Just remember to come all the way down into town for the start. Theres usually a couple of runners each year join the race half way up where you register, pleading ignorance!!

Damn! My plan's been foiled! :)

As a past co-organiser I'd have no excuse:eek:

damn this race sounds good.... and i was plannin on doing the whinberry naze the day before tooo....guess there's no dressing up on this one then?

ps...how long is it...

You'd be more than welcome to dress up as anything you like!! Its short and steep - about 2.5 miles 1400ft

Well I hope that a few entrants will fit the significantly overeaten/suffering hangover/or totally unfit brigade to keep me company at the back of the field, as I think I'm already in that state!

Hope you all have fun today. I've got a Christmas cold so won't be joining you.
