Very interesting thread this. Ash's post is particularly insightful "I then lost contact as I was pretty much spent by this time and got lost somewhere on the flanks of the mountain with absolutely no visibility and driving rain and wind. At this point I just kept heading down hoping to hit something I'd recognise but my legs stopped working and I was stubbling around and falling over, next thing I know I'm being picked up by some fell walkers that took me back to the Wasdale head inn"Originally Posted by Graham Breeze
This seems to be another serious incident narrowly avoided.
I'd be keen to hear more about what GB refers to in his "Safety in Fell Races" quote. Is there something available on the web to read ? Respect to all - finishers or not.
