KINDER SPRINGS : 22 MAY 1991<br />
Managing<br />
Chaos<br />
This was the true spirit of fell racing. There were two start<br />
times advertised in DP News, one at 6:30 and the other at 7:00pm.<br />
The organiser of the race couldn't be present; his broken leg<br />
limited his mobility and therefore, the checkpoint identifications<br />
couldn't be put in place. There was of course the usual options of<br />
running any combinations of the springs and, as it turned out, any<br />
start time was allowed provided you timed yourself and could be<br />
trusted to visit the checkpoints. To finish things off to a nicety<br />
a spectator took the finishing times.<br />
One of the prime DPFR events, Mike Hayes's 'Four Springs'<br />
covers three of the four corners of Kinder; Fairbrook, Sandy Hay<br />
and Swines Back. If you're fit and not worried about finesse<br />
orienteering then the fourth corner, Crookstone Knoll, could also<br />
be visited. But this would mean missing a long Kinder crossing<br />
from 3 to 4 which I find fairly confusing in clear weather. I<br />
suspect that in the mist I would take greater care and might not<br />
be led astray by where I think Fairbrook Naze and Seal Stones<br />
should be.<br />
This year I had run with Andy from Spring 1 to 2 and 2 to 3<br />
though I later suffered from attempting to keep up with Andy on<br />
the latter section. From 2 to 3 we plunged to the right of the<br />
wood below Mermaids Pool and climbed to Cluther Rocks on<br />
'runnable' ground. Leaving spring 3 (below Noes Stool) we climbed<br />
back up to Kinder for the final crossing. Andy took a line<br />
slightly to my left as we crossed the first drainage bowl. On<br />
reaching the horizon of this bowl, which always feels as if it<br />
should be the Eastern edge of Kinder, Andy ran to my right and in<br />
due course I managed to reached Spring 4 without seeing Andy.<br />
