Unwritten Fell Running Rules

[Henry Porter]

Its not odd, just a different venue which allows some to express how they really feel rather than keep it under a cloak of british reserve. I suspect that if 20 queuing runners watched someone get ahead of them by jumping a fence, none of them would say anything but nearly all would be thinking 'prat' or 'cheat' or whatever. Put those same 20 on the forum and I bet nearly all of them would, from the safety of their keyboard, give vent to those thoughts. And yes, most of them would be lovely people!

Maybe, maybe not who knows. I wouldn't be surprised if the big posters here don't get out much due to injury etc. No wonder they are a bit tetchy.
