It was a good race (my first fell race); many thanks to Joe for the excellent organisation.

Batmonkey , I think it was you with the Vibrams on . You may be interested to have a look in the equipment section on the vibram five fingers thread .

Oh and , I think the route you and others took was actually shorter than the gorse route . The reason for the extra distance was we all went too far on the earlier top section where the marshal with the orange sheet was . We should have cut off right before then . I believe the marshals had different maps to the rest of us hense him being in , lets say , a misleading position .

Well done one your first fell . See you again .
