best fell runner ever ?

[Duff]

just on the subject of records, at least 3 quarters (approx 300 of roughly 400 in calendar) of male (and female) fell-race records have been set since 1995, which surely indicates that fell-running is in quite a healthy state compared to road/track running doesn't it?

Hmm.. be nice to think so Daz. However, if we took out of the calculation the new races since 1995 (which will obviously have records post that date), and then the ones with slightly different routes (which will have a new record post that date) I wonder what the figures would be like?
