Only second place from the 57 year old legend. Was happy enough to just about stay within seeing distance of him for a few mile. Such a strong runner. Great to see. What an awesome race.
Spent 5.13 on the hill. Cant wait for next year.

hmm. Excellent running to beat CD, though his article raises some questions in light of new race regs?

The organisation is flawless and the route is possibly my favourite of any race, pushed close only by Duddon.

Soooo......
Who's going next weekend?
My first time out (and probably my last) on the A course
But I have promised for years that I'll do it.
My son (14) is doing the F course (short mountaineers) with his Grandad (71), so it's a family affair
Good sized field this year - posssibly because Ennerdale doesn't clash this year.
Nice to see a couple of V70 out on the A as well.
But no Colin...?
I will be there. Missed the last 2 years due to work commitments but this year I am entering a works team in Class D rather than my preferred Class A.
Paul C.
... continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
Yes - I will be there. Have passed a fitness test, a secondary fitness test, and a late late fitness test)
Cracking route, looking forward to this one, just hoping the weather stays cool and dry until about 1:30pm and then the heatwave breaks out.
Woop woop - see you on the bus!
What an excellent race- if you haven't considered it before, do, it's proper good.
here's an idea of what to expect - or at least, what happened yesterday.

It was pretty brutal in the wind across the Carneddau. Glad I did it (fulfilled a promise to do it one day...)
Pyg Track and snowdon were grim. Clueless tourists milling about and getting cold, punishing wind and cold. Was glad to get off the top.
3 generations of family did it - My son and dad did the short mountaineers: they won the family class and junior/v70 prizes respectively.
I was very happy with 5:18 on A considering how little training and preparation I did.
Heartily recommend this race to anyone.
well done Moosehead and family!

Heartily agree...what a great result by Family Moosehead!
People would not believe how severe conditions can be in mid summer up on those ridges. The Carneddau seem to attract massive windspeeds. Well done Moosey and everyone else who finished an absolute classic point to point high level Mountain race.
Must do it myself again someday!
