Borrowdale Fell Race

[Man from Del Monte]

No it doesn't start straight after ZHR, starts about half 7/8 if memory serves - there's a bit of time to kill in the meantime, I'm sure we can all find appropriate ways of spending it!

good, it will give me time to finish then before the bash starts

Not 100% sure for the bash afterwards but may pop up the night before.

So if nice weather I will probably disappear onto the tops for the evening if anyone fancies a bivi or wild camp? Obviously with cake, and booze.

If looking a bit ropey then be camping in the field and sat in the pub.

I'll be over on the Thursday before. Camping for me, not sure which site yet. I'm also going to stay on for the week after.

what's the score with the bash after, does it start right after the race, or is it later in t'evening? And is there food or is it just the scafell pub for scran?

Theres always been post race food (sandwiches, tea etc) in the village hall (on the right off the lane as you head down to where the parking field is), not that I've always felt like eating any of it.

i like the constant stream of sandwiches and tea from the hall,
The fords a great place to soak the clarts off prior to many beers in the riverside bar, then a stiff legged dance.

I can't find that info on bus times from Windermere to Borrowdale. Any ideas?

I would imagine you'll have to get from W'mere to Keswick then the bus out from Keswick - I only know as the bus station is at the front of Booths!!

The 555 runs pretty regularly from Windermere to Keswick. From Keswick you'll need to get the Honister Rambler or any bus that runs down to Seatoller (seathwaite?) and back. Don't forget to get an all day ticket - I think they're £9.50. But probably cheaper than two singles; check with driver.

All sorted, thanks Guys and Gals. Only a week to go!
