Don't know about the best route off Barrow. I contoured that last bump, but then continued on the main ridge path. One thing for sure, my feet were on fire on that final descent.

Yes, the ends of my toes are burnt off, it felt quite steep.

I put a pin through a lovely'un on my right foot but the left didnt bubble up?

I couldnt resists.

Plus i had to go to work and it would probably have popped anyway....so i got rid of it and its fine now.

Think im going to have to start taping them up though because its the 2nd time ive had a blister in that spot.

Must back up Mrs Crabbers comment, massive thanks to the great team who got Cathy off the mountain after her fall and encourgaed us all the wayto the end, even though we kept them on the mountain longer. THank you!
It was my first proper lakeland fell race (don't know if I count Wandsfell) and it lived up to the terror. There was tears and some close trantrums but thanks to my mates I made it to the end.
Thank you
Lisa

ps - I also left a Booths carrier bag with all my stuff in (blue fleece, shooes etc) by the tree so if anyone has found it please let me know. 07904 528803

Thanks

Hazel (Robinson) picked it up - if you give her or Mike a ring I'm sure they can sort something out.

I think you are right. We set out at 10am so would have been at the top of Grisedale Pike before 11am.
I haven't been mistaken for Timo Austino before! Oh, and they had Valentina with them.

Didn't have my contact lenses in and my eyes were filled with sweat - could only just make out male and female to be honest!!

Did anyone else get very very hot feet, and the odd blister?
I wore my x-talons and i think i could have done with abit more cusioning on the long stoney track to barrow.

My X-talons were great. Nice n lite with plenty of grip. They were fine on the stony path too but I picked up a tiny blister on my big toe on the final descent. Like you, AF I also went through the dead bracken off Barrrow and picked up a couple of places.

Great race, great day.

Well, I was just about say "How come nobody's made the comment that it's Wednesday and there's no sign of any results yet" and blow me - the results are up!
