Borrowdale Fell Race

[stumpy]

We just found out that we are in, so it was a fair and just process afterall..:-)

No seriously, still think it's a long winded way of going about it. The sooner these races go on line entry the better for me.

Anyway now planning a recce after Blackstone edge.

How did you find out? Are race numbers out? I've not had anything yet....

got my acceptance letter today

[stumpy]

hmm - better keep my fingers crossed and get down early for the post tomorrow then. Don't want it being sabotaged by the Mrs!!!

you should get it soon,some people got theirs last week

[stumpy]

I hope so. I was a few days late in sending the application as I couldn't get access to a pc to print it out - it'd be a shame if I didn't get in just for that as Borrowdale's beginning to become a bit of an annual pilgrimage for me!

This is to be my 13th Borrowdale. My letter went in the post on the day the entry forms were out and I've heard nothing yet. Whilst I'm not supersticious maybe 13 really is an unlucky number

......or maybe not. My confirmation arrived today. Just need to sort out my sprained ankle I collected in the last few hundred metres of the LAMM !

Mapper,
You got your confirmation yesterday!!??
Does that mean that us poor souls with no pressy from the postie are doomed to watch and get drunk at the beer tent?

I havent received one either but I think common sense will prevail and we will all get in.

......Just think if they only allowed runners in the beer tent. That would be unlucky. Not only would you have to watch the race but you'd also have to watch me get drunk as well

If common sense prevailed no one would want to enter a fell race at all!
