In reply to Iain Thow:
I agree that the FB comments are a bit vague "dangerous local conditions around Cauldron Snout," Having done that bit in ice, snow, wind and rain and thought it was fine, and because it is 100 yards from the Cow Green dam, it can't be at risk of flood I can't imagine what the dangers could be at this point that aren't present at every other point on this race.
I think the organisers have a hell of a job on their hands keeping everyone in this race safe, I have said before that I think it is probably the most dangerous race in the UK, solo+night+winter+250miles, and if people want to take those risks that's up to them, it's up to the organisers to manage those risks, and that includes suspending the race for a bit then fine. But I find it a bit frustrating that they put out half a bit of information - like the above Couldron Snout quote.
