See the following link for a good video of the leaders in this years Borrowdale Fell Race, and the runners who followed, on the descent form Scafell Pike to the Corridor Route.
See 5:35 in the video for "a fine example of how not to take the optimim line". Sorry Mark -some things must be broadcast if only to discourage their reccurence, ever again.

very good, shame about the music!. I want to hear what Mark (and others) had to say.I remember the sound of rocks chasing me down there, snapping at my heals.
-yeah, a stray rock to the ankle can give you a nasty knock but you can't be forever afraid of stray rocks to the ankle otherwise you'd never get out your front door.
I love the video -everytime I see that bit where Mark falls and disappears behind that shoulder gives me a giggle. Just the thought of it sets me off now -thanks Mark for cheering me up
I think it's a great peice of footage. And good to see I'm not the only one who slipped and slithered his way down!
lmao. recognised mark before he reappeared over the wrong skyline. the price u pay 4 17 years
lost about 20 spots coming down there - a little girl could come down quicker. 17 years of marriage, a 2 year old and a house to do up take away focus! First major fell race in a couple of years i'd fogotten how to descend. Glad to be of amusement - the cock ups make the best craic!
