    Re: Borrowdale 2010

    Now that I am officially in will someone lend there views on whether a slow runner gets any advantage going straight down the scree run off Sca Fell Pike?

    The small advantage is probably only a couple of minutes saving.

    The big advantage is that it's a briliantly fun plummet.

    i missed the scree run lat year and went back down to the col and then turned left to join the corridor route at the bottom of that descent so I went wrong?
    also is anyone doing the Pete Bland (apres Borrowdale) 45 mile Sunday bike ride that was sent out to everyone that is accepted for Borrowdale

    I agree with that only slightly spoiled by having to pick the rocks out of my shoes at the bottom
