    This meant I could help at the finish which was new to me. Lovely to receive a gentle introduction to the dark art of fell race organisation from Andrew R. What was even finer was that Antonio put on one of his better performances and finished 20 minutes faster than last year (when I was sweeper) - so less hanging around at the death. Don't worry - he was still last.
    I can tell you a very funny story about a head of the field runner who lost a prize winning place due to some unfortunate poo issues!
    A pot hunter who preferred a poo to a prize?

    As ever, dryly humorous Mr Breeze. They were shit prizes anyway!

    I can't help wondering whether this incident is similar to what happened to me at the 1979 Goat Fell race, when on the descent I was very grateful that the heather beside the path was deep enough for me to squat down without being seen - twice. I also kept running beyond the finish line until I had reached the toilets.
