Duddon Fell Race

[Storyteller]

Well done emmilou on a super set of pics. I got my photo taken with Joss twice at Wasdale last year - first at Greendale Bridge, then at the finish. They are somewhere in the DPFR archive now. Managed to take a few at Duddon, but lost the will to do anything after Dow.. I'll be struggling round Wasdale again with camera - so please remember to say cheese

there's a thread in the Recce section, but surely we need a proper race thread?

I'll start things rolling with a proper race-related question, prompted by reading the entry form:

what's an “e” card when it's at home?

[karen nash]

haven't read the info but e card to orienteers is the Si unit/ dibber that you use to prove you have visited a control. Used by some Champs races and MMs. Most fell runners won't own one so you hire on day or get one in with the entry fee

We are away fro half term so it may be the first time I miss Duddon for some years- shame, I like it lots

They have definately used SI dibbers the last 2 times i've done Duddon....Brilliant race. Its worth camping over as well and heading to the Newfield Inn after.

[DazTheSlug]

I've used SI dibbers before - never heard em called e-cards though

not sure if I'll be family camping at Turner Hall, or "smash-n-grab"ing it on the day, but I'll deffo be there...
