Congratulations - Britta
Thanks! Still grinning like a cheshire cat!
How do you put it into words? The best day ever - truly character building stuff and the support of my awsome team most humbling!!!
An hour down at Dunmail had me worried a bit
Stunning day, leg 1 & 2 a bit fraught in the dark, leg 3 beyond what i can put into words right now, leg 4 though, leg 5 a party! The run back up Market Square the best moment ever!!!
Bill, you were a star as was the rest of my team - i'm most proud of having had you guys with me!!!

I never really understood the vital importance of the support until I did a round. It does make you realise how incredible solo rounds are as well. Glad you enjoyed it, my main aim in the Paddy Buckley was just have a good day out and see how it goes. With a good group it's such a good day out, almost every thing that is good about fell running in the one day.
Enjoying it makes it mentally such a different ball game. Earlier in the summer I did the WHW race and had a mare, finished, but was just mentally low the whole race. I reckon my Paddy Buckley was my best ever day out in the hills. Well done on coming back from being behind schedule, I was worried how I'd manage mentally if it happened to me, luckily I had a good first leg that put a lot of time in the bag and although dropped a few minutes on some techincal terrain at night made a few minutes on every leg which mentally kept me going.
Well done Britta - running up that Market Square with friends in tow is certainly an amazing moment.
Many many congratulations - enjoy the fuss!

Well done, Britta. I agree entirely, it is the best day ever, isn't it? Especially that run up the market square.
I dare say we'll be reading a report in the next Fellrunner!
Great recovery, very well done.
