Some photos here (I reckon taking them cost me about 5 minutes, but it was worth it!)

Great race will be back next year,this was my first and most certinley not my last.

Can folk give me a straw poll on how the Jura dates would affect them next year? The race is normally held on the last Saturday in May, with the Monday as a public holiday in the UK. Most people have to be able to take the Friday off to travel to Jura, impossible for many teachers, and either travel back on Sunday or take an extended family holiday.

With the queen's jubilee in 2012, the public holiday is being put back to 4th June, and I expect most schools will put back their half term holidays to that week as well.

Please let us know if keeping the Jura on Saturday 26th May, 2012 will affect whether or not you can go.

26th May best for me. Following weekend would clash with Duddon

Bloody royalty! They buggered up this spring and now they are having a go at next year too!

Not having Jura attached to the half term would be a complete pain for me and a lot of others I suspect. Half term in Cumbria is 4th - 8th June in 2012.

To have the race any other day except 26th May would cause too much clashing and knock-on effects to many other races and organisations. We are sticking to the normal date of last Saturday in May, and apologies to those who like to stay on for a few days during half term, and, on this occasion, will not be able to. Thank you to everyone who has responded or helped in this decision. It would have taken a flood of very strong opposition to 26th to move the race back a week.

We're going to have to move the Duddon race anyway - neither the pub nor the campsite can cope with having the race and the bank holiday at the same time - so at the moment the weekend of the 2nd has no race. Graham, if you would like to use the bank holiday then please do! We'd be very pleased to move the Duddon up to the 26th. Our only other options are to swap with another June race - we're trying to work something out - or to postpone until later in the summer.
