Course clearing –

[Mr T]

Stick me down for another task as well if you like John.

[Julian Brown]

- it's going to be a lot of effort if the only entries are Nancy and Julie.
Still, who's your money on??
- although John has already put Nancy ahead of Julie in the results !!

I`ll do the jog round on Saturday.

I've updated the task descriptions in the first post in this thread....
Hopefully I'll see a number of you at the wed night run tonight.

[philjan]

John,

Do you have anyone for 'course clearing' yet? I can help with this if you need me.

See you tonight,
Phil J

[BARRY BLYTH]

Re Friday night John. Where/when do you want us to meet.

Barry

See you on Saturday.

Thanks to all the marshalls and helpers. The results are up on the main website.

Was that Steve Lomas that led a few runners astray?....

I need a beer....

[Swoop]

Thanks for a great race John and thanks to all the marshals.
Glad I didn't go to Borrowdale. They missed Scafell Pike out because of the weather!

[STEVE LOMAS]

Yes, it was me; I can't say what went wrong really, all I know was that
I eventually realised - when approaching Buxton Old Road (I think that's what it's called) - that I was running in the wrong direction.
I stopped and turned round and said to the other three runners that had followed me that we were 'wrong'. We turned back up the hill and ran for approximately 20 metres and then one of them said, "we might as well carry on round the way we were going (the wrong way) until we re-join the route".
So that's what we did. This procedure involved running down Buxton Old Road and then up Coalpit Lane before re-joining the race.
I've run in this general area before of course, but I don't think I've run in that precise region very much. So that's my excuse!

They`re turning into a load of wimps up here in Cumbria,it`s a bit drizzly but it`s not been a bad day,light rain,warm,& not too windy.Can`t imagine why they`d shorten it.......but then I can`t imagine how anyone could go off-course on as well marked a fell race route as Teggs!!!!!!

Phil - I think I have your hat - a little red number?

[phil cheek]

Yes John,that`s mine.I missed it today & had to borrow one of Annette`s for a trip up Scafell,Burnmoor & Ill Gill.
I also forgot to put some of the gear back in your car.
Great organisation yesterday by the way.Well done.
