    Not heard that for awhile Poppycock from Dutch dialect pappekak literally soft excrement from pap soft + kak dung !

    Ian, the 6 or 7 wrappers I'm talking about were just off the path. Easily within reach, even with cold hands. I wouldn't have been able to spot them 2000ft away. And yes, I have been in the fells, nearly every day. And no, I've never done a 500 mile round trip.

    You live in Yorkshire though, should people who live in London be not allowed to travel to races then?

    I'd recommend the Ben Race. Worth the trip.

    And, after your quickly edited post, I'm not harping on, just disappointed. You drop litter, you pick it up. Simple.

    I expect most if not all do. Maybe 1 person just through all six down, I don't know.

    I just like to give people the benefit of the doubt and hope they were dopped accidentally. I certainly saw noone dropping any litter deliberately.

    Fair point. I hope you're right. Let's put that one to bed, 'cos that's where my aching limbs are bound.

    Maybe you didn't see anyone drop any litter deliberately but this litter business has become a regular feature at long races. It is a relatively trivial matter in the grand scheme of things but it just adds a little bit more to the negative effect that large fields of runners are having on the fells.

    As far as erosion on 'geronimo' is concerned...what do people expect when it's trained on almost every day of the year.
