Maybe a our best runners need to take a look at them selves and learn how to use the postal service or online service as Edale was more effectively.

I was a lightweight as you put it, timed out by 37 seconds but would not have made 4 hours.

Should I be banned from all championship races? Shall I send my FRA calander and membership back? Should I only be allowed on the fells when the elite do not need them?

Ask the people at the presentation the mid race finishers, the lightweights and Dark Peak Club how many of the so called best runners did not have the decency to pick up their prize or ask a club college to pick it up?

Some times you have a point worth discussion but this time you have got my back up.
