It seems quite a while since the previous race - and even longer since the start of the season - but Langdale now wraps up this year's Fantasy Fellrunning competition.
Congratulations for the overall win to Llani Boy.
You have free entry into Castle Carr fell race 2019, if you wish to take me up on the offer (and let me know your true identity!)
As mentioned at the start of the competition - and assuming I have sufficient energy to do this again next year - the top tier of teams (first page of the team results) will go into a top division next year, the second tier/page into a middle division and the third tier/page (including me!) into the third division along with any new managers.
There were final race boosts for 'Kirsty’s worth 1/2 a shandy bass' and 'X Talents', both of whom moved up ahead of the new division cutoffs with points from Langdale. (Although the former are just off the first page, they would be included by dint of tying in points with 'Favourite Fellsters'.
Unfortunately 'Kunama Kings' dropped below the cutoff into the final division.
With both Rhys FR and Jack Wood in their ranks, 'The Living Dead', 'Peak Power' and 'Team Doping' were the top teams at Langdale.
After the finale of this year's competition, the highest scoring runner is a tie! Both Sharon Taylor and Kelli Roberts were worth 153 points, with Rob Jebb 142 and Carl Bell 140.
The most valuable, points per pint, was Dan Haworth: 87 points for a single pint. Billy Cartwright (75) and Claire Nance (60) were not far behind. All will be more expensive next time.
