There was talk of the runner with a broken leg before the Prize giving but when Selwyn said it was Steve my jaw dropped. I had brief chat with Steve at the start and was looking forward to a pint at the end.Originally Posted by stevefoster
Just recieved bad news that it was Amex who broke his leg, no further details, hope its not a bad break, all the best big fella
He's a mountain rescue volunteer himself.
Absolutely gutted for you mate, I hope you will have a speedy recovery. I hope the team looked after you well.
Yes Steve is a member of the MR.
Owee, Owee, Ow - double fracture - that doesn't sound good- poor old Amex - I take it Wet Side Edge was living up to it's name?
Nooooooooooooooooo that is terrible news, so sorry to hear that. I wish you a rapid recovery Steve.Just recieved bad news that it was Amex who broke his leg, no further details, hope its not a bad break, all the best big fella

oh noooooo. not good - speedy recovery Steve xx
It wasn't all bad for Steve, he did have Mountain Goatess for company after she heard his cries and went to help keep him warm!
Many thanks to all involved with getting him of the fell and also for, I think, Wheezing Donkey, for driving his car home
Are you sure? As I understand it they are:-
CP 1 : GR 288011 Wetherlam
CP 2 : GR 273006 Swirl How
CP 3 : GR 277027 Three Shires Stone
CP 4 : GR 272042 Pike O’Blisco
CP 5 : GR 293043 Footbridge
CP 6 : GR 303046 Lingmoor
CP 7 : GR 319039 Gate nr Dale End Farm
But I've always gone to the gate before heading up left. I think a few people went up earlier in the last couple of races but I didn't see anyone doing it today - I've never reccied an earlier line and I'm not sure about how that line would cross the wall, whether there is a stile or gate - a specific request not to cross any walls was emphasised today so I wasn't tempted to try it. Sorry to hear about Amex's injury hope you are soon back on your feet.
And as ever thankyou Selwyn and all others involved for such a great race, one of my favourites.
Great race that, and I made the cut-off with ten minutes to spareDid have a look out for you Amex but didn't spot you, gutted to hear about the leg, get well soon! Thanks to all the organisers and marshals and whoever made the pasties
Oh and Ian - (un?)fortunately Rhys got the speed in the family, but I got the looks
Probably best to play that down, Deejay. Amex won't want a divorce as well as a broken leg.
Seriously though, I'm so sorry to hear about the Big Fella's injury. He has a legendary capacity for jollity and good craic but that's a major downer for anyone. I wish you a speedy recovery, Steve.
Well done that Goatess, sounds like you were a bit of a heroine.
Bestathlete, was it you I met twice when you expressed surprise at seeing a Baildon vest on the fells?
