25th July 2009, 2PM, from Wasdale Head. (4.5miles, 2500', AS)
Race goes straight up and down.
Just thought I would create an entry for this race as it's a fund raising event for the Wasdale MRT.

Thinking of running this on Saturday, just wondering if anyone had a servicable map? I've only been able to find a jpeg of a black and white photocopy,http://www.wasdalemrt.org.uk/general...20aug%2003.htm not exactly ideal.
Answering my own question here, but I've transcribed this http://gb.mapometer.com/en/running/route_1393998.html from the aforementioned photocopy, think it's right-ish, but I stand to be corrected.

As you say its right-ish but isn't the race line. I wouldn't worry about it too much as you can see a good half of the route from the valley floor and the forecast is pretty good so visibility shouldn't be a problem.
Just ask around at the start, there will be plenty of people to give you advice.
Cheers Roger+Out, I'm not too worried, as a mid-pack plodder there is usually a stream of people to follow, and I'm travelling up with an old hand who does know the route, and should see me right. (his advice on Blisco was invaluable)Originally Posted by Roger+Out
But if anyone does see someone looking lost, it may be me, so take pity.
Thanks to Wasdale MRT for a superb race, cracking weather for my first Lingmell Dash. Pity it was such a small field, but it did give me my best ever position in a fell race,so I can't complain. Will be back again next year.
Results up here http://www.wasdale-mountain-rescue.o...neral~news.htm seems like a long time ago, but not seen them anywhere til now.
Not seen any photos either, and someone was really well placed at the stile on the descent, would be good to see 'em.
Started one of fourteen. Finished thirteen of fourteen. Thank goodness an employee from Wasdale Head Inn decided to run, otherwise it would have been finished thirteen of thirteen. Thanks to the Wasdale MRT. It was brill. felly.

14? That's unbelievable for an FRA race. Everybody will turn up next year thinking they can make the top ten!
By the way, off your head you should be able to give us the full results here and now! Who won?
CFR won the team event because they represented half the field..... almost. One guy turned up especially from Devon and one from Wimbledon. Bearing in mind I never know who wins what, I can't help you out with first place either male or female. I just know I didn't get last place, which is what really matters here ;-)
Incidentally, when everyone set off I realised that I suffer from some sort of abandonment syndrome. Never been through that before.
