So, I presume no action will be taken against Team 48?

hello vince, lets get a few things straight from the beginning, i was running in team 50 ( Rossendale Vets ), my team mate failed to show at the start of our leg ( leg 4 ), i talked to the marshalls on the handover and it was agreed that since my car and warm gear were at the end of the leg i could run on, knowing the team would be disquaified, i thought this was the best way of dealing with the situation, if you bother to check the results you'll see we got a 10 hr penalty for that leg instead of being disquaified,

Obviously came in under cover of darkness.
Will have to get the search lights checked out.
Must be a maintenance issue!

Nobody told me that that the Pennine Bridleway was in lancashire/ Manchester (aren't they the same?) , it must be in a bit you lot nicked in the 70's boundary changes.

Re guards, well if they were lanc/mancs they will be as much use as a chocolate tea pot.
I also think you find that the searchlights and machine guns are designed to keep people in.

Hi Steve, I heard about your team mate doing a no-show and it must be hard for you having to do that, especially as all your stuff was at the other end of the leg. But can I re-straighten the issue I am referring to.
But this was a different issue to the one I refer to. My issue was not with your team, but with team 48, with one runner coming in 12 minutes or so ahead of his (apparantly chucking up en route) partner at the end of leg 4. The check point guys let the next leg 5 team go without having to wait for the 2nd runner catching up.
This was a flagrant breach of the rules as set out on http://www.penninebridlewayrelay.co.uk/rules.htm where it states:
5. Pairs should run together at all times and must be together when entering the changeover.
This was witnessed by a number of people, not just me.
As a firm believer in Fair Play (as well as organising races, countless race results provider) I think the fact that this has just been buried is appalling.
