Yes, thanks to everybody involved.

First time I've done the 'new' course. I was quite surprised to find I was 3 minutes down on last time (48:50 against 45:45 I think). I suppose we do end up further down into Dimpus Clough, and also I thought we crossed the stream lower down than before, giving less runnable ascent.

Or maybe it's just that I'm getting older!

Well done to John Boyle (DPFR), winning by quite a margin.
