Tough day for me, i was feeling dunnerdale in my legs after 50yds of the climb, don't think i've ever had my legs burn up that fast. Was never really in the vets race, the vets winner finished about 2mins quicker than i normally do, and i was finding it hard to get rid of the burn in my legs. I had a reasonable descent and finished in about 45mins, 3mins slower than normal. Cheers to all the people organising and helping, a very good spread of tea and cakes.

One of my best Fell race days out! A diamond day helped - as we came out of the fog in Lower Wharfedale to sun and golden colours as we approached Litton. Park in a field and register in a pub garden meeting load of friends. Race was a joy - even the big hill and me not winning! Then back to the pub garden to eat chip butties, talk bolloxs and enjoy the November sun. Great to meet Hester, WJB and loads of others. Our community is a good one!
Is it legal to shoot down Stolly's drone? FFS.
The race was won by Vic, followed in by another woman!

I wondered who was flying that thing, shoot the thing out of the sky for me.

It's on again, but the route seems to have been shortened for some reason, possibly to recategorise it as cat A. It looks like it's just round the trig and back, but this will mean a lot of congestion around the top.

That’s great news and I agree with you that removing the run round the top is a real shame. Not sure I’ll be able to do it, but will try. Hope we still get a chip butty at the finish.
I know who was flying the drone - he used to be active on here and his partner is a good artist who runs.
