New safety rules

[Stagger]

But you still need a set of base rules that the RO can work from. Look at how much confusion happens over full body cover.

bofra races are very short and usually out and back routes. When you have a long Lakeland race you have to be more proactive.

Vestless? This is fell running not the bloody Chipendales!

Fair point Bob.
BUT
The FRA needs to look at the bigger picture. Take Wasdale surly ditching waterproof pants, and gloves and taking mandatory fluids would have been a better call on the day.

Guide lines are great but thats what they should be, not rules set in concrete.
