Shall I nip down to Crumock to fetch a pale of water for the runners? (Off to google what exactly a pale of water is)
Young Dave Foul-up, your English gets worse by the day! It is a PAIL of water; "pail" = Olde English for "bucket"

Yeah but come on.....How can you expect me to be able to spell it when I dont even know what it is.
P.S. I did actually suspect it would be a bucket
Oh and Ian, are we re-creating history via myself coming to marshall with you at yonder Fiendsdale?

Dave, I would like to think so. However, a change of job meams that I have to work 2 Saturdays out of 3 and it's a pig of a rigmarole to swap shifts. So I might not make it. Hate the idea of letting down Andy ( RO ), or Les the RO of the Bleasedale CircleYeah but come on.....How can you expect me to be able to spell it when I dont even know what it is.

Ah, a slight bugger!
Give me a shout if you ever need any marshalling help in the future!
Oh and whilst we are on the topic (sort of)...Some time ago somebody told me dogs are allowed up certain parts of Bowland? I always hoped to be able to take me yound pouch up Bowland but is it not to be?
Dogs will be OK on the front of Parlick - supposedly common land, but watch out for livestock, be ready to put the pooch on a lead.
When the "Right to Roam" came in, estates had a deadline by which to apply for an exclusion against dogs, even on a lead ( so I am told ). Seemingly the Bleasedale Estate got theirs in; so no dogs on the back of Parlick, Fairsnape Fell ( Paddy's Pole ) right around the head of the River Brock - Fiendsdale Head, Holme House Fell & Hazelhurst Fell. This also applies to the Duchy of Lancaster estate - around Grisedale Head - and the Grosvenor ( Duke of Westminster ) estate at Abbeystead ( all of Wyresdale, Littledale and Roeburndale ). I'm only aware of one estate that failed to get their application in ( owner lives overseas ) and seemingly something of a bitter pill with them; and we need their co-operation for a couple of our races. So best not upset the apple-cart.
It's all to do with the fact that roaming dogs will scare parent ground-nesting birds off their nest, long term; hence failure to rear the chicks. This includes grouse, on which the sporting estates are totally dependent for their income.
