Heptonstall Fell Race

[TurboTom]

And a top ten finish and first V50 in the Wuthering Hike the week before!

62 minute 10 miles the other week
Coming into a rich vein of form it would seem,

[Nick C]

Yes we just debating whether a V50 gets to keep the V40 prizes if he beats the V40....
See some great pictures of Chris and many others at the finish line here......http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicianson/sets/
Copper Dargon will be pleased to see their banner in many of these shots (Copper Dragon provided 80 pints and 2 crates toward our prizes and fund raising)
We've had to censor the pictures of Nick and Matts wounds in case there were any minors viewing
Hope they heal soon

As first Vet 40 the answer is no!!!
However new tablets from the doctor will not let me drink alcohol so drinking the prizes will have to wait unfortunately.
Would be interested in seeing the sensored photos Trig?

Is it known which actual bog contained the sharp rock edge that caused the nasty lacerations to two runners' legs? Will it be flagged as out of bounds next year?

[AndyA]

Thank's to all that helped me on Sunday (other runners -Ray Green, CVSRT) it would of been a great race if it was not for that bog!
would like to say I am feeling better but I am back in Doctors today think I may have an infection, the antibiotics don't seem to be working!:thunbdown:

How are you Nick? Nurse said she had a field day with your wound Nick.:wink:

I won't say what StevieMc said when I told him of your exploits; it wasn't sympathetic!

Metronidazole? Nice high strength anti biotic, not much fun drinking on them...

Also - I like the way I get "Junior Member" next to my name. So much better than the usual "veteran" business

Thats reassuring - we spent the best part of 2 days building it and putting it away again!
Its worth its (considerbale) weight in gold -by stopping the bottle necking it will allow a much bigger entry in future years (uneffected by mothers day and lads leap)
The farmer who was upset at us last year was very happy we stuck to the flags on Sunday (the stile goes into his fields) he broke off from lambing yesterday to put the whole lot in trailer to save us re enacting the easter passion (heaving an impossibly heavy wooden construction up a big hill while others look on and jeer)

Were they the lambs who came running over in a large group wanting to be fed as the runners crossed the field just after the woods at the beginning?!!

......while young Trig is now "senior" aiming for "master" - how many posts do I need for that?

They were - glad no one stepped on them -also glad you got a chance to find the route to standing stone hill after your aborted recce wjb - how was the day for you???
