This was probably one of the best years thanks to no rain and not too hot. It doesn't make the challenge any easier though.
Water damage was highly evident with even more washed-out paths -> linear boulder fields, wrecked and gullied Old Coach Road and disappeared stone bridge at Pooley.
I took a few pictures over the long weekend. Notable images to look out for are the costumed volunteers at the checkpoints (brilliant, the lot of them), the recovery positions at Coniston and my pudding on Sunday evening. :-)
