I can't believe Vic smashed the course record in those conditions. It was pretty dire, especially with the strong wind.
Steady one for me, not that it was easy, my legs are still mashed.

It is always a joy to talk to you at a race, tell me again about Darwen Gala?
Jonathan is a great organiser of a classic race-Long As are what fellrunning is really all about- and marshals are always pleased to turn out for him for all he has done for fellrunning, including serving on the FRA Committee for 20+ years.
As for Denis Wood and myself on the top of Castley Knotts in the wind and the rain, it was pleasing that only one of the 268 runners had his number on his thigh (and so was unreadable) but even more pleasing that most of the field thanked the marshals as they passed.

I had my number under my waterproof for the entire race Graham, normally I would wear it on my leg in those conditions so I could easily remove/add layers but if it's preferable to wear it under a cag then that's what I'll do. I'm thinking of getting a race belt if some sort actually so I can stick it over the top
i cant believe it either,thought my 50 quid was safe today,britty
Graham,
This was myself with the number on the shorts. I thought it was the logical thing to do as I was looking to wear my jacket for the majority of the race. I was told at the finish line by Johnathon where I apologised for my ignorance to the rules (new to this game see). Sorry for any confusion.

Enjoyed a chat with marshal on Kinder - making sure he knew how grateful us runners are to chaps such as he.

It's OK. Not a problem. No witch hunt.
But with a wide funnel to accommodate two Sportident dibber boxes as we had at CP2 today it is impossible to read a number on a runner's thigh on the far side of the funnel but the runner will assume it can be read and run straight through.
A runner with a number under a cag. knows it cannot be read and so generally comes to the CP and the marshal "prepared" to lift the cag briefly to display the number.
Regards,
Graham

Kinder? This race is on the Howgills, not the Peak District.
How much is it to view the pics?
