[Ratbag]

Great race on a fine day. Anyone got any idea when the results are expected?

Pb for me then even over weight and unfit.

PW for me by 55 mins, but with a daily average of one mile each since Christmas, I was just happy to finish.

Thanks to DPFR once again for a successful race, perfect conditions.

127th out of 291 finishers: I'm delighted with that. Out playing with the big boys!

I took a few photos at Crowden Tower & put them together into a slideshow..

I have the original (far better quality) photographs if anyone wants copies (send me a pm) I will put them up on Photobucket when I get around to editing them fully.

Awesome conditions can’t wait to have a go next year and gurn at some one else’s camera

Just watched this; some great photos and the b/w/sepia in that terrain is a top choice.

Some folks' expressions are just a joy to behold.

Declaration of interest: OK so T'Lad is M'Lad but still great fotes.

Quality photos t'lad.
A well chosen spot to shoot from. Interesting scenery and being a good 3/4s into the race, shows some stylish gurning and throwing of shapes.

It's not that the route isn't already known, it's so, just incase something does go wrong, you don't have to go routing around in your bumbag - at least that's why I carried my map in hand all the way. Someone I passed commented on me obviously being a newby as I had a map in hand (I didn't see him after that until he finished way behind), but it's all about preventing losses, rather than limiting them - although with weather like Sunday there's little danger of making mistakes!
I used my map to keep me focused when I started getting a bit bored on Brown Knoll.
I also presume running with a map-in-hand is more comfortable to those of us who Orienteer a fair amount -

I know some people use the Pike of Blisco Omap on Langdale/Swindale North Omap on last year's Saunders.

Simon Booth has won Borrowdale a dozen or so times, but someone told me a couple of years ago that he still writes the bearings off each summit on his hand. You can't be too careful!

Has it been set??

Have searched around, but cannot find anything. I want to make sure that I keep it free :w00t:

Excellent question, as I have the same concern. Don't want to miss this one.
