Thanks John D!!

I hope that I didn't sound too abrupt but it would have been a shame to have missed the opportunity. I don't think that there were any other photos taken on the run, so this will be appreciated. A quick look at the splits showed that Andy was in deficit even on Seatallan and did well to squeeze home with 5 mins and 19 seconds to spare.
Paul achieved a great time but what superb conditions, strange that there were flakes of light snow falling from Pillar onwards, when it seemed so bright elsewhere.
