Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Are we numerous on this 'ere forum? Is there anything to chat about, once we've agreed that in Kernow we have the jam first and the truth?

And is anyone else doing the Saltash Half tomorrow?

I live in Devon, but am Dorset born. Don't like cream so don't get embroiled in that argument 😉

No, not doing Saltash half. Good luck

I’m headed that way (moving to Dartmoor, just outside Moretonhampstead approx August) so will keep an eye out…

I'm Cornwall - have raced here for 17 years, currently arthritic knee means can't race til the Autumn. I've done the Saltash Half before, oooh it's a beast. And ignore the marshals at 10 miles saying all the hills are done. They most certainly are not.

I did the Saltash Half last year, having discovered belatedly that because it starts at 11:00 I can get to it by train in time from Hayle (I don't drive). I seem to recall a nasty and steep little climb about a mile from the finish ... or maybe that's the Magnificent 7, which recycles some of the hills from the half.

Weather looks good for tomorrow.

And gutted to see that the Imerys Half is no more. That was a brilliant event, if brutal.

Oh yes I ran Imerys many times, even won a bottle of wine on the last occasion after fluking a 3rd in my age category!

Ah, I can beat you with the flukes, Chris. In last year's Saltash Half I was first in my age category. Even got a little pot for it.

That I was the only runner in that category and the guys in the next two -- M65+ and M70+ -- were ahead of me by a country mile is irrelevant.

Gotta defend my title tomorrow :-)

Sort of, I live in Devon but don’t run anymore (I swim in the summer at the village outdoor pool).

Only race I’ve done in these ends is The Grizzly which is the best race in the world.
