With regard to substitutions the info on the Borrowdale site states:
"That is where a runner, whose entry for the Borrowdale Fell Race has been accepted, is no longer able or no longer wishes to run in the Race and the substitute runner is able to demonstrate previous experience of long, arduous fell races. If he or she has not previously completed the Borrowdale Fell Race, the substitute runner must have completed at least two different category A or B long or two different category A medium fell races (race categories as defined by the Fell Runners’ Association) since 1st January 2010."
Does this mean we have to email the RO with our experience prior to the race or can we just stick the details on the substitution form?
I am still looking for an entry, if anyone can help.
I Have an entry going spare, glass ankles cannot cope with the rigours of long fell races, pm me.
Does anyone know if there are water stops at the checkpoints? I'm just trying to plan the contents of my bum bag so I can pack ... unpack ... repack ... unpack it again ... faff about a bit ... retail ... you get the idea!
Entry taken, all the best for a good weather day and excellent runs all round.
Cheers

There is usually good support at Styhead & Honister with people offering drinks & so on. Can't seem to remember if the other checkpoints eg Scafell pike will have water available. I'm using my camelbak as I know I'll be out for some time.......
I have an entry going spare - PM me
Entry taken
At checkpoints you are relying on people you know bringing drinks, and the good will of a few other kind hearted souls, but water is not a problem. Several places you cross clean water - on the path above esk hause you cross a good source, several places coming down the corridor. Small backpacks with bladders make life a whole lot easier!
