The video was excellent. I am also incredibly pleased you caught me in the last few seconds just as I look like I am falling backwards - sums the whole race up for me

cracking video - it is amazing to see at the beginning how big a lead the first guy (simon bailey?) actually has, there is no one else in site

Oh yes, I've just spotted that. You were just in front of my wife and Roger.

Yes, I've been surprised by Simon Bailey's abilities on a number of occasions, despite knowing how good he is.

When we got to the top of the scramble start he was 5 metres ahead of us. After another 300 metres, he'd opened up a 50-metre gap.

I wonder if he'll do enough champs counters this year. And more importantly, will he beat his own record at Shutlingsloe later this month?

interesting point to see the lead runner avoiding the path on the opening seconds of footage - an insight into how top runners think of the terrain under their feet?

Straight is Great (to coin an orienteering parlance)

... or Tegg's Nose in August?

Jack Ross came within a second last year, but Simon wasn't there... we'll see.

Mark Boulton, the race organiser, has asked me to post a request for help on the day. He's looking for marshals, help with registration, results etc. Quite a few of his usual Pennine helpers will be at Fairfield for the day (apart from me - I think I'm doing time-keeping, or something). If you can help out please contact Mark directly - Mark Boulton, 10 Highgate Road, Hayfield, High Peak, SK22 2JL 07873 115685 [email protected]

Also, don't forget this is part of the Three Days in May series (Hayfield May Queen race, Mount Famine, Lantern Pike Dash) - more details on Steve's website here.
