Frightening.... but not as frightening as finding yourself in Thirlmere!

Now that I've just about dried out has anyone seen any results ?

Hopey - I was with a Lostock runner called Mike on the descent from Dollywagon to Grisedale Tarn. Visibility was such that we didn't see the tarn until we were almost in it! Mike and I began the ascent to Deepdale Hause together but then he dropped behind. I wondered about waiting for him but couldn't see how far behind he'd got on account of the clag and it wasn't the sort of weather to hang around in. I decided that, as it was a race, he should be able to look after himself, so I carried on. After all, I wasn't that confident in my own navigation so even if I'd waited for him, I might have just led him astray!

All the same, I didn't see him at the finish. Do you know how he got on? Was he one of those who ended up at Patterdale or Fairfield? (if so: "Sorry Mike!")

Hopey,

Your advice re. not following anyone going right after the last checkpoint served me well. Maybe you should have briefed your clubmates to the same standard

I went right after the last checkpoint - was split between who to follow and knew I'd made the wrong decision more or less immediately! Own fault - had plenty of chance to consult the map on that last ascent. Results only show finishers - how many started?
