Luv Shack Was it you who lost your hat on Grindslow?

Not me Ian, had to keep the balaclava on, most of the time, to keep me warm & to obscure the "humerous" scrawlings on the baldy bits of my pate from last nights party shenannigans!!!
Hmmm maybe not the best prep' for the ES...... mad dancing till the early hours.

Thought you had some seriously groovy looking eyebrows LS...

Just a thought on the Grindslow-RR short cut

Looking at the split times between the two tops
Lloyd 16.09 Direct
Simon 19.03 Round the top
Rob 16.51 Round the top

it would appear that the direct is the best way( esp if you have Lloyds legs)

Is there any one on the forum that took the short cut and how did they do against their peers? Did you gain or loose...?

A-ha, I now know who you are, I was wondering why you were so over dressed, See you at the downfall race.

That was an epic race today. Think it would have been bad enough without the weather. I'm well chuffed I managed to finish it all. The fat boy flapjack at one of the early checkpoints went down a treat. Thanks.

Big thumbs up for the checkpoint marshalls in particular - they must have been freezing! yet were so cheerful.

Well done to all who ran today. Special Thank you to the marshalls and mountain rescue teams - they were the real heroes.

Definitley think my long training runs over Kinder in January & February paid of for me today. Was wavering on the slog towards Bron knoll trig but found renewed vigour from that point onwards.

Pleasure to meet some new faces today including Fellmonster, Twig and Pike - Pike had his name sewn onto his top but still I asked hime if he was Pike
Pike it had been a long day. Special shout out to Ian marshalling on Ringing roger.

Stagger - mere seconds - flipping eck and there's me thinking you and Swoop were in front as I'd not seen you at all at any point.

Off to bed now - totally jiggered.

Did Phil W keep his hat on to hide his hair cut. I hope not. Will you wear it to work tomorrow Phil?

According to post ES pub talk, the new hair do' most likely wont make it to work..... shame I thought it was a real improvement!!!
