Maybe. Last time I did this it must have been at least 25 years ago. It'll be easier than the Howgill race on same day though..............:eek:Quote:

Well, that was a blast:eek:. There seemed to be more tarmac than there was last time I did it in 1999. It took me 3 mins longer too.
It was good to see the route lined with spectators all the way to the pike ~ a good day out for runners, marshals and spectators alike.
Rumour has it, the summit Marshall and photographers drove up in a car��
Thanks to all for a good afternoon out.��
Still had to walk the steepest section of the race though.Quote:

I'm off to watch. Legs papped today after a 4 mile run and 14 mile walk yesterday topping 2000ft.
But young WPette is having her first race since having her youngster 7 months ago, her first race since Jan 2017.
I'm baby-sitting.
Best place for me now :D
She was first lady to the pike in 2011 at the age of 17 the day after the Salford 10km, just getting caught on the decent by two internationals to finish 3rd.
She'll probably be 5 minutes slower today, but it'll be nice to see her and everyone else compete today.
was thinking about running it, then thought about the bank holiday traffic.....
Good time by the winner Michael Cayton. He was second to the top behind Haworth of Matlock. Only nine Men running under 20 minutes. Sarah McCormack first lady and eleventh overall in a very fast 20.11.She was shifting! Must be comparable to Greenwood's record given changes to course.
