Top marks to you, Hank, for marshalling and giving up so much of your time. The news that the race had been abandoned was welcomed by me. I was starting to struggle by CP5 and the thought of going back over allen crags to get to kirk fell was grinding away at me. As luck would have it I arrived at CP5 at a similar time to Steve Birkinshaw, Jim Mann and John Hunt. I enjoyed a wonderful star-struck descent down to Seatoller. Sometimes it does pay to be slow and incompetent. Thanks for the flapjack at CP5.
That was my first attempt at the mountain trial - it will take some time to get over it! Classic in every sense.
