Coniston Fell Race

[mudlugger]

I'l probably decide depending who I'm trailing, how I'm feeling etc.
I was thinking it will take me about 2 hours, anyone else as slow as that, or is that being optimistic for a novice mountain runner?

Indeed it is! Which is one of the reasons I think Coniston is a cracking race.

Particularly when you run over the top of one of those quarries in the mist .

I'll be at the back so I'll just follow everyone else and if I see anyone fall down a 10 foot drop, I'll know to change course

Mudlugger, I would expect to do this in 1:45 - 2 hours, so I'll be somewhere near you.

The weather forecast for tomorrow is for some rain and for it to be pretty windy on the tops. Anyone know if the organisers are concerned about the wind point ? I ask as driving up from London ! Cheers.

I'll keep an eye out for some big mittens then eh?

Would be gobsmacked if it was cancelled just 'coz it's a bit breezy, it's a fell race after all!

..........but at that time it's probably dark so don't try a direct route off the top until tomorrow.

Great weather, great race, and only a kilometre from home. All I need now if a great performance!

Anyone know whether the ambulance was for a fell runner?
