Midsummer Madness

Tom Tittiman results on this page: http://www.cvfr.co.uk/races/tom-tittiman/
and overall series results on this page: http://www.cvfr.co.uk/races/midsummer-madness/

After putting your series positions on each photo folder, it transpires that I'd missed the fact that Stuart McAleavy completed the 3 races, so he's been added to the series results, but for anyone outside the top 10 your positions on the photo folder are 1 out!
And apologies to Carole Priestley - when I announced that Robert Gregory and Les Chesterton had completed 10 series, so has Carole. Impressive stuff!

Glad everyone enjoyed it. It's been a great weekend. I'm off for a lie-down in a darkened room now.

Big thanks to Bill as always this is an event to be proud of. I'm sorry I missed day 3 well done everyone.

What happened to you and Kate, Rich?
I have a memento photo for you two - everyone doing the series got one. email me your address and I will put them in the post.

Aw Bill that's lovely thanks. Sorry we missed the last day, it was a bit unavoidable. I'll send you a message!

I'll be there but participation will be limited due to fractured collar bone sustained at Helvellyn & the Dodds. Hope to do the Reservoir Bogs - early start, take it slow but hopefully not as slow as last year!

Thanks Bill. Enjoyed the weekend. Completed Reservoir Bogs without any major nav cock-ups and quicker than last year (ha ha!!). Was quite pleased than I managed it with my fractured collar bone 'til I saw Sally Newman (also with a fractured collar bone) flying down to the finish on Sunday. Made me feel distinctly wimpish/overly cautious/sensible!!??

Much preferred Sat night's soul band at the Hare & Hounds to last year's Fleetwood Mac tribute act so well done to the landlord.

Hope to see you again next year.

The perfect opportunity to indulge in a spot of condoned Fishwickery.

Bill promises a 'secret twist' on Reservoir Bogs; we expect no less.

[BillJ]

Yes, there is a secret twist to the Reservoir Bogs route this year.

For anyone who's not done the 'Bogs before, I should point out that if you want a flagged race where you don't have to think, then its probably not the ideal race for you.
But if you are happy to decide for yourself what's the best route - shorter route over the top? longer route on the path? - and you like something that will challenge your overall fellcraft, not just pure pace, then it is a great race.

And in the company of the best 'family' of fellow fellrunners... who could want for more?

Tom Tittiman race: to avoid cows (and terrible tussocks!), the final section of the race will be re-routed.

It's a better, more runnable end. An extra 300m in distance on a slight uphill gradient. Just 15m climb, but I reckon you'll notice it at that final stage in the race!!

Could be quite a week for the man himself, im fairly sure he will be at Bridestone tonight, then there is a host of races wednesday, Aggies staircase Thursday , midsummer madness and i reckon you could fit Brown Wardle or Great Hill in as well on the saturday. 7 races in 6 days.

Go on Daz you know you want to.
