Dunnerdale Fell Race

[mapper]

Some piccies here from Mrs T
Tom, Mrs T is really sorry she missed you on the photos, you came down the hill to fast and did not give her enough time to get set up. Well done any way.
Danny was a bit slower so she had time !!!! ha ha

Great Piccies Mrs T. At least you got me smiling :thumbup:, but where's Andre and Mr T? Have you edited them out, or did you run out of 'film' by the time they got to you. Hee Hee Hee.

A video of the race is now on my blog

Smashing techno soundtrack. You should yell at me some time.

I will try to, MrB. For these last few, while I've been videoing, it's been hard not shouting at people as they run past, especially when I know them and they're team-mates. I've managed to refrain as I've wanted to capture the sound atmosphere of the race on video. However, I've now realised that the only sound you get is the wind. So, I've vowed to put music over it from Dunnerdale onwards. That way I can heckle and shout at people like I normally do. Win win eh!?

Aye. I'm always easy to spot, think 'The Pink Panther goes fell running'! Did you say hello to me at Hag Dike at Gt. Whernside a few weeks ago? I thought i remembered a shout but i had clubmates breathing down my neck.

I took a few photos whilst jogging around the course with the Pennine Juniors. Hope we didn't get in anyone's way.

It was a fantastic day. I sank upto my thighs in a bog between Stickle Pike and Great Stickle. That'll teach me to stray from the path. I mad sprint for the finish line, going neck and neck with another chap and unfortunately he just managed to pull ahead in the last fraction of a second. A good dramatic end to a fantastic race. Bring in next year.Mike.

Fantastic race but hit the bogs finished further back than i hoped lol,i enjoyed that sprint with you at the end,il def be back next year,maybe a run at Kirby Moor next week

I'll be there next year.I'll be at Kirkby Moor next week too if you're there. I was out on the recce of the route with the dog this morning and it's a good one. Rather boggy underfoot. I seem to have a knack for finding them. Had to hose both myself and the pup down when I got home.

Entered the MMM just down the road the day after so will probably do this..

Is it rocky or all grass/bog, only seen geoff's pictures. Is there a map? The one linked earlier in the thread wasn't working...

Also any recommended campsites? I've only seen Turner Hall nearby?

[Bob]

Turner Hall is good, one of the best sites in the Lakes.

The route is a mixture of everything but mostly grass/bog - the section over Dow Crag is rocky as is the descent from White Pike. I think Harvey's do a map of all the classic Lakeland races.
