Re the camp site. What is the club that might be open? Rugby?
Looking forward to tommorrow - should be a good test for the tired 3 peaks legs - but I've managed 2 training runs this week with no problems. Coniston is more like my sort of distance and I just love the descent
When i did this my tactic off the Old Man was to follow a knowledgeable and experienced looking Ambleside vest. Unfortunately the bugger twisted his ankle about 5 mins down the speedy route down the front and left me a couple of other guys high and dry. That ended up costing me time rather than gaining it.
If you aren't certain I'd go for the toursit path with obvious short cuts route - less can go wrong that way.
Brilliant race though - to go well you need a combination of climbing ability, pure running ability on the ridge and the ability to drop like a falling stone so it should produce a worthy winner. Enjoy!!

Is everyone still out there? Any reports?

Ian Holmes won.
Cracking race, shame about the blisters. Just need some advice on making them better that descent blistered me up for fun,
Me too! Blisters....
Cracking race! Next year for sure!!
Jackie Lee won ladies race, Angela Mudge second, Hazel Jones third. Fantastic day. Cloud cleared about ten minutes too late for me.
