    I had a goodly slurp of orange juice off Grouse. Or I think it was orange juice - got me up Gable any road.

    Did you? Say hello next time we meet cos I don't know who you are - or do I? Well done everyone by the way - and Geoff, I'm sorry if I left you in the lurch at Rosthwaite, but I thought you were sorted for a babysitter. I decided on the way up to go to Sty Head rather than mooch around at the start!

    Yes, I was wondering who Rudolph was - must be someone local to us.

    No problem regards Emma. She had a great time with Julien's family & Millipede (bless her) had offered her services, too.

    Cracken Edge tonight?

    Thumbs up Re: Borrowdale 07

    Well done everybody on Saturday. Really enjoyed the day and was amazed at the no of people at Styhead. Was getting concerned at 1 point as I'd passed 2 packs of jelly babies to Grouse's children to hand out and I thought they would run short before everybody passed.

    Had a nice glass of wine (Cheers Sarah) whilst ensuring you lot stuck to the non alcoholic stuff.

    A pleasure to meet Sarah, Hopey, Grit Britain and the rest of the forumites. Thank you for the appreciation of being there - Once again well done 1 & all.

    Hey Hey, No problem Good day out and well done all for getting round. It's a shame it wasn't full distance, but with the wind early that morning Broad Crag Col would have been a nightmare...Good Call Scoffer. I think Jo & I must have brought up the rear, but she was chuffed to get round.

    Didn't feel too bad after the run think I was more wipped out after the evening bash, was jiggered all day sunday and had to fly out to Delft with work on the monday for a weeks jolly...err training course. They're short of a few hill's out here can we lend em some? Had a four hour delay when someone drove a baggage lift into a door on the plane and they had to find a manual to repair it I'd have prefered it if they'ed used a piece of metal instead

    It was awful - i passed about 10 people coming down off dalehead and passed each one carefully and with coordination ..apart from knocking into that poor lass not once, but twice! - i felt awful as i thought she would have thought i did it on purpose, but that isnt my style and it was genuine poor coordination - i wanted to have a laugh about it at the end of the race with her but I dont think she did which made me feel worse.
