To be fair, I agree with Lecky (first for a while ).
Whilst I accept you will have some local knowledge of this race Iain, it's not right to take what happens in the results generally and associate it with athletes unaccounted for.
Results are one of the ways, but not the only way.
Who's that? Is she your daughter?

I think for this race they are the only one.. its a tame fell race, basically a trail race, but you can still go wrong and there's lots of quarry pits so potentially dangerous land, but regardless there could be a health issue...

When I suggested chip timing I was scoffed as he's been 'organising races since 1984'... so what do I know? I've only raced in god knows how many countries, 3 continents, to a decent level so dont have the experience to comment on such issues..

But this is now 3 times when results have gone astray.. sometimes it's been dreadful weather, which although understandable, makes it even more dangerous..

There's no, x is going wrong, lets try y.. just we've got away with it so keep doing the same, it will only be post a fatality, serious issue that this issue will be looked at.
