    Re: Xmas on the fells

    Serious question if I may?
    I've done absolutely s*d all running out here save the odd sprint now and again The list of runners is now almost at race length so I'm looking for a bit of reassurance that since I will be badly acclimatised (its still 40 deg + here) and have few miles in the tank will there be anybody to talk to so far behind the pack?
    My conversation's not up to much but there are some interesting insect bite scars and webbing burns I'm willing to show round if that helps

    Im convinced that some people on XOTF dont actually run at all......its a bit like a Geography field trip where teacher waits till everyone catches up before he extolls the virtue of understanding rocks and mud.

    You should have no fear whatsoever, its a jolly and athletic ability is totally inconsequential

    You talking about me?.......I do try......honest....
    Wouldn't expect anyone to wait for me though....I will find my own way back.....and hopefully there'll be a big fat glass of red waiting for me at the pub!

    The waiting is what its all about

    Far too much piss taking goes on to allow running to get in the way

    Like MG, I can always find my way back; no need to be looked after but I do get lonely. Especially on the long winter nights just before the festive season.



    Thanks for the pm about webbing burns Tom - not that kind of webbing though I'm afraid. Nice idea though, keep it up.
