Wow, abandoned! Sounds like it must have been pretty bad. Congrats to everyone who had a go andihope everyone is ok, and warm!

Hey up Merry, Mrs C got round in 16:47. Said she felt good but it was a cold un. Despite the sunshine for most of the daylight hours the head wind all day was bitter coupled with a few snow showers. Not surprising it was abandoned, the makers of foil blankets must have made a killing! Wouldn't want to be out there now it's still v windy & hail stoning, it would have been a long night for the walkers and checkpoint staff. Who as usual did a brilliant job.

Sounds like it was hugely testing. Its amazing how rapid you lose body heat out on the tops. It surprises me every time.

Well done to all !!

Well done to everyone that got round and to the checkpoint staff to. The guys checking people through G Whernside had to hold the tent down with rocks to stop it blowing away.

Does anyone know how Hes and Stolly got on? Also, two guys from Ripon Runners Pete Chapman and Bill Foreman. What a turn up, hope everyone is in and warm.

Hope no-one seriously hurt. Sounds ROUGH and if the weather down here, this morning, is anything to go by, it'd be pretty testing.

I am a long way South- West of the route, so if any lost running gear (or runners!) blows into my garden, I'll know where it came from!:wink:

Well done Gerry... purge all the bad weather demons before May 25th

Some pictures from today's Fellsman from Great Whernside. First pic Jez Bragg on his way up to the summit 2nd pic Mark Hartell giving chase and 3rd pic 3&4th runners reaching Great Whernside SummitAttachment 6053

The guy in the black Helly is Konrad, a running friend of mine and an occasional forumite. He finished in 11:31, I think - blooming good going given he claimed not to be very fit beforehand!

Pete Chapman and Bill Foreman from Ripon Runners finished around 14 hours or so. Well done to them.

OMG! That's a tough course! Managed to avoid any silly mistakes and got round in15h20. Huge thank you to Julian, Stephen and Terry who grouped with me from Cray; with 30+ fellsmans between them they didn't put a foot wrong, thanks guys.

Just heard Hes is home in 18.25. Amazing.
