Believe me the section that we have been talking about is unrunable to just about everyone at the moment. I have been running that section everyday for the last couple of weeks ( you can when you are retired) and I would not yet want to risk anyone running let alone racing it. I have been fell racing for 45 years and organising fell races for just about as long so I do have some experience in our sport. These type of events attract non fellrunning clubs and with that inexperienced people and we have to take that into account. (I get emails from people asking for advice on what type of shoes to wear ) If I have sounded pessimistic its probably because I have been anxious for the last couple of weeks, this type of event takes a lot more work to organise that a standard fell race which is a doddle in comparison and all of the work has been done already, if It had to be called off I would be devastated but I have to safety concious first and foremost, hope you understand that.
