I fully support Ian and the RO's
If someone is good enough to put an event on then if you choose to enter you should follow ALL his rule.
Failure to do so is nothing less than cheating.
Totally agree. If you do the race do what the RO says. If you don't want to comply then don't enter. Simples.
There's always apologists for this type of behaviour on here; same with litter on the fells (don't get me started!)
