Its a risky tactic.. which is always the followers fault should it backfire.. but we've all done it.. I followed Christopher Leigh around Kinder Low on the Trog recently..Originally Posted by DrPatrickBarry
One of our Pennine members got asked during a long welsh race by an Eryri runner which way is it? So I am not so sure your methodology is foolproof
Especially following Eryri vests.. its a huge area the club cover so most runners won't actually be from central snowdonia and general experience in many runners is pretty low in my experiences..
In general the route knowledge on the peak of DPFR or the Pennine runners who are around me in races is pretty top notch.. even in races like the Tiggor Tor.. pretty simple nav but loads of little trods through tricky ground which can shave off a few minutes..
Anyway can cloud really affect GPS? never heard that.. I thought GPS was a mechanical aid? therefore banned under UKA rules, like sticks? They are also pacing devices so banned under other rules so we often can't wear them at international events like the 100k's...
