Me: "Stick to the roads Reverand "
You (Splinter): "Go stick your head underwater, Guick."
You: "mouthing off and insulting people who don't agree with them" Who's insulting who?
Mate don't you know sticking your head underwater can be dangerous.
I'd rather stick my face round a pint of ale. And I'd invite you to have the other one, but I bet you're an orange juice drinker!
Now that's an insult.

Should we start a new thread about possible dates for going back and doing day 2?
My partner and I are up for it. Anyone else for Medium Score?

[Guick Dotto]

whatever dude, i'll be up Kings How thursday about 2 if you can make it for a run i'll be happy to swap anecdotes, failing that do you fancy Buttermere round with me friday?

Hey man respect But take care up there, for remember "With such extreme weather, the mountains become a dangerous place "
I expect you need that advice from another fellrunner don't you?

[Hanneke]

Definitely up for medium score! Have already potentially rallied up a couple of friends for it as well...

We should get the maps of day two in the next week or so, according to the OMM organisers announcement.

I'd be looking at the weekend of 15/16 November perhaps?

That's free for me at moment, need to discuss it with my partner. And of course check the forecast

Question is am I going to keep my map safely in its envelope until we get up there.

I was there from Friday morning til Monday evening......
As far as i know no one was lost, (out of contact, yes, lost no just out doing what they should have been doing, bearing in mind it's an outdoor experience!!) a few got hurt ( how many compared to a equivelent road race??), I didn't see many faces miserable and the press were being very selective about the whole thing..... the only helicopter we saw at the event centre buzzed in to pick up a reporter and cameraman....
We did have people complaining that they couldn't run the day 2 courses.
One camera crew complained cos they couldn't get the footage that they wanted cos the competitors were far to happy??
On the whole a good event well handled

received a copy of this from a clubmate (along with his own personal account of the weekend).

Shows our friend Mr Reid as being even more arrogant/obnoxious than he'd already come across if that is possible. What were his 'other customers' doing out and about in such atrocious conditions? they should be shot!!!

Hi Hypo! Pitty I did not see you the weekend... Mind you, it was hard recognising people wrapped up in their pretty universal and similar waterproofs with taped seams

Hi Hanneke

I did try to get to the start early to see if I could find yourself and a few others I knew were starting around that time. But as you said, it was difficult spotting people dressed up for once......
