In reply to ablackett:
Was that the one we came 2nd in 2012?
I took it as podium and you move up. Won the 2014 A class by an embarrassing amount so now stuck on Elite; can I use medical exception to drop back down?
There's many stories of esoteric but useful prizes in fell running - toilet role, cling film etc.
Blisco Dash has a bottle of crap lager (the cheapest he can find in Aldi) for 1st, 2 for 2nd and so on. An under 18 came 4th or similar this year, he said "don't give him that it'll put him off beer for life!" There's also a 'fat man' prize (a full case of aforementioned crap lager) - the race organiser always picks on someone who he knows will take the joke. He thought about dropping it due to modern sensibilities but had complaints, so it stays!
