86th for me out of 402 starters (nevermind the DNFs). That's sounds quite good and helps me gloss over my time

Lets not forget it's a really really hard race. I'd struggle to imagine that it's just 11 miles harder (so 20%) than Lakeland 50 ? But races like that are high profile and attract all sorts of newbies. It's certainly substantially tougher than any 50 mile Ultra I've ever raced. Surely that's the issue ? Also, I bet on any Ultra, there's a good chunk of DNF's ?
What's wrong, Stolly? Too shy to show how fast you were?
I was pleased with =162nd because it meant a comfortable sub-20 finish. I was expecting much slower with the speed we were going after grouping. To be unshackled at Yarnbury and be able to let fly (with the group's blessing of course) was a wonderful feeling.

I've got Fellsman blues today, wish I was out there doing it all over again!

I went up Ingleborough again this morning to check it was still there.
Me too - want to go back and do it better justice right now. I updated my route notes on Friday ready for next year. They have been honed yearly since 2003. Route changes apart, I have seen the preferred track change during that time as a 'Fellsman Trod' has evolved. There never used to be one. Is it getting like the 'BGR trod'?
