LOST AND FOUND
I haven't got all the lost kit but send me pm for missing kit with description.
Vest, shorts, thermal and fleece
bumbag.....make and contents
also reported lost Garmin gps map viewer by a spectator any one see it?
Haha, on movescount (the Suunto app) the ascent came out as 4,900 feet but, when I exported the gpx to strava, it came out as 3,800. I haven't put it on garmin connect yet but I suspect it'll be somewhere in between. Strava always underestimates climb but, that said, movescount seems to go way over the top the other way
I got 4081' Ian. I've compared my two skyline races (I did it in September too) and, going by Garmin Connect, this year's was slightly shorter at 20.66m but with 300' more ascent. The only route difference for me (other than the new descent to Hope) was contouring over those tussocky bits after the Jacobs Ladder checkpoint rather than doubling back up the path. Did you do the down and up to Ringing Roger at the end? (I very definitely didn't!)
Thanks to the organisers for another brilliant Skyline! You even got (mostly) great weather for us. I loved the new descent into Hope (although my toenails were less keen and are now making their dissatisfaction felt)
The Cornish Pasties with mushy peas and gravy at the end were an inspired choice - perfect!
Ian - sorry I didn't come back to see you to pick up some beer. I remembered I'd left my cash in the car park field and was too apathetic to make the round trip, Hope to catch up with you soon

My ascent is measured barometrically so isn't effected by datums/mapping software. it's usually pretty accurate.
Down and up....are you crazy....!!!!

Quick question on the results.. I noticed Simon Harding from Macclesfield, who finish in 2nd position, is listed at the bottom of the results - I presume "m7" means he missed checkpoint 7 (i.e. Jacob's Ladder, I nearly missed that one as well!). But how come Oli and Pete don't have times down for Grindslow Knoll and Ringing Roger? In fact there are quite a few times missing throughout the results list, so how is it determined whether or not they missed the CP or simply they didn't dib properly? I suppose it's a bit more obvious when 3rd place misses a checkpoint vs a mid-pack runner!
In Simons case he did the honourable thing and came to the RO and put is hand up and told us he'd missed it, it was discussed allowing it to stand but as Simon said he didn't go to all the CP's, it wouldn't have effected his position though. not sure about the others, it was noisy at some cps due to wind noise so knowing whether the dibber bleeped can be an issue, I understand they checked with race marshals who were taking numbers as a back up.
My ambit2 measures altitude barometrically too. So Ian, what you're saying is that my ambit has been right all along and that I should be ignoring the far more conservative garmin and strava height readings?My ascent is measured barometrically so isn't effected by datums/mapping software. it's usually pretty accurate.
