Apparantly there is a picture of me from 2008 lying on the ground fast asleep, comotose like, any one got an idea where? I have searched the thread with a fine tooth comb, and I can't find it, also searched the forum in general too. Any ideas?
Cheers.
Oh and this was a really hard race to do with a possible cracked knee cap! Still just over 4 hours will do for me, suffering now though!
Brillant photo's, god I look rough though!!!Originally Posted by ShaunP
Thanks to all, loved it, battered and bruised, fell over 4 times, took a few scalps, pleased the weather held it was grotty early doors, top route, well organised, marked and marsalled and the cakes...well, bloody marvelous.
Thanks again
Is it the photo towards the end of this thread?

Saw it a couple of days ago and was amused.... Little did I know then just how bloody tough this race was!!!
Many thanks to the race organisers and marshalls for setting up a splendidly tough event. Will be back next year to try and do a bit better!
yes that's the one, thanks very much!! (really) It was my first long fell race ever, I'd decided on the spur of the moment, 45 minutes before it started to get from Sowerby Bridge to the start!
Made it with 5 minutes to spare...little did I realise how tough this race was! I vowed never to do it again!!! Until it became a club championsip race this year. The new finsih leg was much tougher than I thought it would be, Cheers

Aye, some great pics from the race taken by a few good folk, nice to see all me mates having a good run out, even the rough uns
40D's with Canon 70-200 F2.8 and a Tamron 17-50 F2.8 (first time out)
Dear Somewhere... I'd get that kneecap checked if I were you. I ran a few races on a cracking knee cap earlier this year, and I ended up with a properly broken knee cap on Nab Scar, more than 2 months ago and still walking with a leg brace. Big respect on finishing such a long race with it though.
Enjoyed that alot. Many thanks. Gorgeous cakes.
same-same, must've been either right in front or right behindFantastic race!
Thanks very much to all involved. I haven't done that race or even run that far before but other than a dodgy spell between 12 & 13 miles I absolutely loved it and surprised meself with a 3:32.
Sure I wasn't alone in that and hope you all had a great run too!
real rollercoaster ride: felt really strong at times but a couple of real wibbles, and battled sciatic pain for the last five miles as usual, and then did my ankle on the final descent
a mean run-in on the road / track: is the field at the top of that incline? No it's another half-mile, ugh
a lot of long, flagged sections out on the open fells - first time I've seen that
but brilliantly organised, marshalled etc, thanks to all concerned, including the many photographers out there on what started off as a grim old day
