Borrowdale Fell Race

[alwaysinjured]

We stayed at the one run by the 'mad lady' for the race weekend last year. I think its called Chapel House Farm. Its right on the race route. We got there about 5pm Friday before the race and didn't have any trouble parking but people turning up later on did have more problems.

Thats the one!

How many forum members can we get to donate online?

Why not try it! It is not too difficult to do

reckon you should start a sep. thread to encourage people to donate emmilou as people will miss the post otherwise

Thanks! I'll start a thread but don't know where to post it?? Down the pub I guess

Am looking good for 23rd - just need some long runs between now and then. Numpty spotting an added bonus to spur me on to Scafell Pike Am thinking the first half should be easier, then 2 killer climbs after Styhead. Best bring some provisions. Will there be fellow slow coaches??

I actually found it got better after the climb up Great Gable TB - the terrain got a 'bit' better! The last climb up Dalehead is quite nice really! good underfoot - no bogs and bolder hoping

and yes.......I'll be the slowcoach whinging at the back!!!

You've not met me yet have you? You'll know the meaning of whinging then!!

After a an appallingly poor attempt at Langdale I'll be giving the recce a miss, seems I need to get fit.

[emmilou]

The recce won't be fast Graeme - I'm more than sure you'll be able to keep up with ME!!

If I can haul myself round 17 miles - you'll be fine, honest!

This looks like a fun event eh? I could well be tempted to pop along on June 23rd. Presume the finer details will be discussed nearer the time?

Would do J but my tent is far too huge to pitch for one night

That and I think I need a good night's sleep before getting round this route again

[mxhornet]

I've know booked holiday to cover coming up for the race
