Good photos GB and FJ. You need a really fast shutter speed to capture my descending
Mount Famine is a real gem of a race. Thanks to everyone involved for making it possible.

Brother 'dragged' me along to this. Was a toughie. 61 mins, will be back next yr. Enjoyed it in a wierd sense.
A few more pictures from todays race can be found here:

They are mostly from the top of the descent after South Head with a few from near the end.
I must try to upload sooner - GeoffB & Finniganjones were much faster. Some good photos in their sets as well - particularly the one of Simon Bailey climbing back onto Mount Famine by Finniganjones, it really shows how steep that climb is!
What a start, the incline that is, (my start was crap, no grip, time for some new shoes).
I'd heard it was steep but bloody hell...
A very tough 5 miler for me but thanks to all who put the race on, and those who post the pics so I've got some memories of the pain!
Back there next year.

So who's heading to this little beastie this weekend?
Alas I'm unable to (British O Champs in Sheffield) which is a shame as I'd like to see how I get on without racing the May Queen the evening previous!
I'll be thinking of you all slogging up from Dimpus Clough, you poor buggers!

For those of you who aren't doing Mearley Clough on Saturday, don't forget the Peak District Class - Mount Famine - with the unique race start.
Registration at Hayfield Scout Hut - about a 10 minute gentle jog to the race start.
Hope to see you there...
Looking forward to it
