Coniston Gullies

Done a search. Nothing useful comes up.
I did this race many, many years ago. The memory is dim.
Assuming the appropriate gonads, and skills, is it possible to overtake on the descent, or is the die cast once you're in crocodile behind Nobby Numbnuts at the top? I'm not a mortal descender, so give me some hope good people.

Pre-entry only! There's plenty of space to overtake on the way down, you just need to use some bravery to create it. It's mostly scree higher up and mostly grass lower down.
