I suppose REAL fell runners may welcome the chance to run in ankle deep water.
You need to come to Bolton! No shoving or elbowing here. Well, not that I've experienced anyway. I tend to start on the outside nearish the front, so maybe it's different if you're in the middle, but I've never heard any complaints. And only one small section underwater - and a fair few puddles.
