Maybe I've missed the official reasoning for it being called off, but I would hope it was the fact the overnight camp was waterlogged.

Yes, the streams/rivers were full, but we crossed all of them by climbing higher. Yes, the weather was bad, but the 2007 OMM Durisdeer had worse weather in my opinion.

Walking back over from Buttermere to Borrowdale provided a lot of entertainment, excitement and adrenaline. Some fantastic waterfalls and rivers. I have never seen so much water coming down the hillsides...

I want to reserve judgment until I hear more from the organisers, but I can't help but feel that for whatever reason they cancelled, (weather, flooding, swollen rivers etc.) they could have done so on Friday morning for the same reason.

....and where be the results of Day 1, please?! They seem to have been forgotten in the hullabaloo that has ensued.
Mike Parsons told us that the event was cancelled due to the overnight camp issues.

Time to discuss the race:

Ben - presume you were on Elite, how long did you roughly take then? We were out for 4: 25. Jethro Lennox and Tom Owens, 3:59, Chris Near and Tim H , 3:57 maybe. Jethro and Tom clung to Chris and Tim (much to their annoyance apparently).

Do you know what other teams took?
