It' doesn't really matter to me which is the hardest race, but they certainly don't get much better than Wasdale, and a big thanks to the organizers and marshals and helpers. But a more serious point to me was the litter louts were back on the fells, I picked 3 gel packs up on my way round one on the traverse below Scout Fell and two on the descent from Pillar all freshly dropped and all off the main tracks and on trods only runners would take, I was in about 80th place at the Pillar CP which narrows the perpetrators down a bit. Why’s it always seem to be Championship races which attract this behavior, if these people cannot respect the Fells, go and do the London Marathon or something someone will sweep up after you there. I don’t know what the answer is but it always seems to be gels that people throw away, but after having spent most of Sunday morning clean the gooey mess out of my bum bag I may know the reason why, one answer would be to ban them, the likes of Billy Bland didn't need them and has Graham B states the record still stand.Originally Posted by GrahamB
