The point I was really trying to make (not necessarily very well) was that Carole was not just a 'random' walker with no knowledge of fellrunners who happened across the forum (then again there's no reason for everyone to recognise the name). Yes her words re 'scantily clad' were harsh, and as a co-organiser of a winter challenge which includes plenty of runners I'm sure she would be fully aware of the difference between walkers' and runners' waterproofs/winter gear etc.

Unfortunately given regular niggles I've never been anywhere near fit enough to consider such challenges as the Fellsman so as I said am always impressed with everyone's efforts in taking up the challenge - both runners and walkers.
