Bigtub, that's brilliant thank you. Just the sort of opinion piece I was looking for. That review is a fantastic piece of writing by the way - very in depth.

I've also read up on elevation smoothing and how it occurs post run.I actually find them poor when on the hills,but once downloaded at home onto garmin connect or similar they are very accurate

I'm not clever enough to use UKC Steve Should we start a UKB Fell Running Strava page? Would anybody be keen?
Retired in the Langdale Horseshoe race yesterday. There's a long list of excuses but ultimately my heart just wasn't in it. This has happened before and I've just jacked in during a race. Hard to put my finger on exactly why. I think maybe I'm still mentally tired from the UTPD back in August. The second I decided to jack it in and drop down to the start I started enjoying myself again. Guess the pressure was off then. It was lovely day out on fells and great to see the top 5 all in contention coming of Blisco.
Glad to hear you enjoyed a nice day out in any event beast. I'm still working up to entering and hopefully next year will finally be the one.Had a great day out at the Wasdale Show over the weekend and did the Kirk Fell race. Similarly, I had a decent sized list of excuses not to enter and in the end just decided to amble up it and enjoy the stunning views afforded by good visibility. Even saw Joss Naylor which was a great tick.
Kirk Fell looks like a beast of an ascent to try and 'run' up.
I'm running for Bowland in the relays. Not sure what leg yet but looking like it'll be the long one. Looking forward to it. The half marathon on Sunday, less so.
