I will be back for a 3rd time to finally lose the tag of a roadrunner yes we don't slag the fellrunners off, but some fellrunners can't help slagging the roadies. Perhaps the fellrunners want to race these roadies in X-country and be more appreciate of them.

Sorry for the rant but when you have to put up with these comments from your own club members in get up your nose a bit and its like Jebby speech at the presentation last night about the rumour that the foreigner can't run or down hills Jebby said they certainly proved it yesterday. All they moan about was how cold it was on the top.

Have those nasty fellrunners been calling you names again?

Another good Ben Race. Nice to meet up with so many forumites, particularly Martin and Martins Mrs at Southwaite earlier this afternoon!

Hi,

After a year of annoying illnesses, I was reduced to watching from the sidelines (yes, I did relinquish my place months ago!). However, I did manage to do something productive by taking a few photos. They're often focused on my Westerlands colleagues, but include various random others.

What a great weekend
The weather was great
Camping great
Race great (as usual)
Time great (20 mins off last year's run)
Company great

Descent crap but thats my fault, got to the top OK but lost 50ish places on the descent. Mrs Stagger was behind me at the top and beat me by 9 mins at the end.

Comment from Mrs Stagger, "you need to practice going down more" How lucky am I?
