Completely agree. Fell running is all about self-reliance and it shouldn't the ROs call as to whether everyone in the race will be able to cope - that's up to the individual. In that sense, the Welsh 1000s is safer than a lot of long races in that there are two road crossings where you can drop out should the need be.
