Teenager with Altitude

[Witton Park]

.... but witton park could be quite a fast runner (he always posts on the cross country threads so he must be!)

Just an observation - you are assuming the people who are being excluded from this are the tailenders - i dont know who people are on here - only by their forum names but witton park could be quite a fast runner (he always posts on the cross country threads so he must be!) so not likely to be a tail ender, also marrow who is also a not be a tailender, i'm sure he won something once - (according to the forum.)

having read back - witton park is self excluding so just ignore that example. (so why are you posting on here and confusing me)

There is no assumption about anyone’s fitness or experience.

There is no assumption about anyone’s fitness or experience.

Mm, beg to differ. There is, I surmise, an implicit assumption - viz, that an individual who lacks 2 AL's within the last 12 months, one of which must be a Lakeland Classic, lacks the fitness and/or experience to partake in the Teenager With Altitude.

hiya wynn - i notice in your quote of my post you have deleted the word 'excluded' for marrow - what does this mean? ;-) we can discuss in the swinside next time you're in!

[wynn]

the reason for the requirement is because i don't make assumtions, but have to be responsible to higher gods.... thats the way it is..... in this risk averse society

daleside i'm sorry it wasn't an intentional change...fast puter, slow isp, long day

Also I’m guessing that if anyone wants to run it desperately (if we get permission to run it from the NT!!) they'll get in contact with us...

I'm witholding my decision as to which one to enter for the time being. Whilst I qualify (having done at least 2 'AL' Lakeland Classics last year, and the OMM, LAMM and the RAB), April could bring some nasty weather and make the TWA a very tough race indeed.

People should also think how fit they are that time of year and have consideration for the organisers and marshalls who could be out there for hours waiting for the slowest to pass through, or trying to find anyone who is lost.

We'll just have to wait and see what the entry requirements are when published, but I think I'll wait for confirmation of the route before I decide.

But isn't all this risking becoming a viscous circle? You can't do a Lakeland AL until you've done a Lakeland AL?
I'm still not conviced that we do actually live in a risk averse society. The media might, but the media aren't real as demonstrated by their OMM reporting.

Borrowdale .... more benign .

I've never done it - plan to this year - but I have never heard Borrowdale and Benign used in the same breath before.

OK, Ok - I know it's slightly out of context.

Wheezing Donkey, are you the organiser?
