Something to think about ...

Sorry to hear of your experience Martyn. A vaguely similar thing happened to me between xmas and new year on Jenkin Hill (with fortunately a happier outcome), but it does shock you, and for someone like me who knows no first aid and my only attributes in the situation were my phone and my ability to run, it made me feel very helpless.
P.s. The Kirkstone Pass Inn is fantastic, it's been years since I've been there of an evening so can't comment on the clientele, but to sit outside there in a sunny afternoon or evening, it really is one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Some thoughts on living in a runner's paradise yet still being an ungrateful little shit.

How bizarre, Ally! And I read this just after I had come in from my garden, where the birds were singing and I felt that I was living in paradise . . . in Loughborough. And I have been running up Beacon Hill about once a week (when not injured) for 29 years, and still never get bored with it.Originally Posted by Ally
Oh Martyn how awful. That poor man. It sounds like so many were trying their best to save his life and you trying to get help to him as soon as was possible. I hope you are ok now. As you say, live life while we have it. x
My very honest account of the 63rd Yorkshire 3 Peaks fell race…

MrRTS race 7 of 50@50 Eskdale Elevation. Blooming brilliant race!

It is a fantastic area to run in. Had the pleasure of staying in Eskdale a couple of years ago, and did most of this route in reverse on a training run. If anything, the lower fells on the other side of Eskdale valley are even quieter and more remote as well...
If you like this sort of quiet race with plenty of route choice, I'd definitely recommend Arenig Fawr in mid-ish Wales in August. Although it does clash on a weekend with a number of other races, Borrowdale for one...
See you at South Mynd...
He is running Borrowdale that weekend. His 1st race of his 50@50 was Ras Yr Aran and that was a small but strong field. Blooming weather was awful! This is Beau dog and I on supporters duties P3180216.jpg We had to run around in circles to keep warm haha.
Now South Mynd will be interesting! 1st running and so many route choices. Beau dog, me and camera will be on CP1 to cheer everyone past then I'm going to walk/jog the Ashes Hollow path up to CP10 and let MrRTS know how runable it is. He knows the other path so will just go back on himself if the one I go up is a too rough. Have a good one :-) Shout hi as you go past. If I look like Rambo with bits of sticks, scratches and covered in mud .... do not take the line off CP10 down Ashes Hollow haha
