The lead runners went off looking for the marshals, but others went to the correct place then dropped off the ridge.

I was later overtaken by Lloyd, Phil, Tim Austin on the climb to Stickle Pike.

So, yes, I think a map and a compass might be a good idea.

Sorry, I forgot to mention, it was low cloud and heavy rain in 2005, so visibility was pretty poor to say the least.

You mean you couldnt hold those plodders off
