    Never run full tilt at a wet wooden stile, planting your fell shoe clad, lead foot and only your lead foot onto the near side of the stile ( no hands ), as if going to push off and hurdle said stile. Treacherous and leg breakingly painful slippages may occur!!

    I have just read my way through the whole of this thread. For many pages, until it got bogged down in folded race numbers and philosophy, it was a fascinating read, could be published to give a real feel for fell running, its mishaps, foibles and follies. No magazine article I've ever read does it half as vividly.
    Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.

    Absolutely, wet wood = pussy-footing and little giggles to runners around you, 'I'm man enough to lose 5 secs here, thank you very much'.
