the owner of the honister slate mine said "the organisers should be shot for sending these runners onto the mountain." its the runners choice on what to do.

[Boy Wonder]

And Radio 4 news, again calling it a charity event

Sad that our sport only makes the headlines when something like this happens - but the whole point is surely to be able to cope with whatever's thrown at you?

Hope all get safely off the hills.

Yup, just heard radio 2 news "A charity running event in the Lake district ...... blah, blah, blah".

So long as they all came in safe and sound, I'm sure they will have learnt much about lifes rich tapestry etc. .
And be wiser for next time around .

Well done all who survived, and well tried all who didn't.

I think he ought to be slated. what an scare mongerer. he'll now have lots of buses charging in to the valley blocking all emergency services. if this was needed then it was up to the local Police/MR/etc to request it.

Heard Ohly on TV with much more considered and responsible opinions. Was that Phils clock chiming in the background.

I didn't like the way he kept plugging his buisness

Fair play to him for helping out but he did seem to be scare mongering. And I agree it should be up to the authorities to organise what's required.

Seen scrolling across the bottom of the screen on BBC news just now...

"Cumbrian police say senior officers are assessing the flooding incident involving 2000 marathon runners near Keswick - several hundred people are thought to be stranded."

[Doonhamer]

I think he ought to be slated.

Good one Ian .

Hope everyone is OK.

I see the BBC have raised the summit of the Honister Pass from 1200 to 2000 feet above sea level. Impressive. The climb up to Dalehead in the Borrowdale FR will be somewhat easier next year.
