Disappointed not to be fit enough to do it, but still envious of you all. Have a great run Nuns.
Enjoy yourselves everyone.

any other results?
First was Flipper's Gang in just under 9 hours. Not sure about 2nd.
Emmilou was unwell and had to drop out at Moscar.
Sounds like conditions were very heavy under foot, but the wind was light, and visibility was generally good.
Daz, IDP & team were third in 9.37.
Stolly & I did 12.15 (ish). Currently sat in the Lantern Pike with a well-earned pint of Landlord.:)
Anybody seenwhere Stanners and Col Bishop finished
Well done Stolly and gang! have a snecklifter for me while you are there please!Quote:

Big thanks to the organisers. marshals etc - was a great experience and I surprisingly enough enjoyed it! Did 13hrs41, which was better than our aim of 14hours :D
A new first for me - I actually saw the top of Bleaklow :eek: at the fourth time of trying....

Its usually clagged out and/or pissing with rain and/or raging a blizzard :D
And bloody well done RachFR!
An excellent night and many thanks to all the marshalls and organisers.
We had to drop a team member due to illness at moscar but carried on as 3 finished 10.34 (would have been 7th but as a 3 we only get time)
Thanks all for another All-Nighter in the PeakQuote:

We had a lovely run through the night making the call to take the ridge rather than plump for the normal FBC up Bleaklow as we thought the snow would be too soft. what a call that was as we went straight to the errant CP.
Day break on the way down to SS.
team pie i think may have finished fifth in 10h03m.
A great race once again many thanks to filthy rich and the gang excellent organisation.

I was going okay until falling down a bog and my left leg just was in a world of pain. I had at least 8 pain killers but by the snake the wheels fell off.
Thanks to IDP, Adam and Mick for really pushing me and pullin me round.
A true team effort
Floorless navigation from Ian. I think he lives on Bleaklow:).
Thanks to all the marshalls
Grouse you have a hole in your tracksters;)
Hey it's a good job you're here Daz.

For a minute I thought you had gone down the air shaft.
Oh and can you ask Margarine if she has any remedies for 2 x missing toenails.
God they look like Geoffs toes
Top effort Chris...will have to catch up sometime.Quote:

Many thanks to the organisers for another great night out. Emmilou made the difficult decision to drop out at Moscar with a stomach bug so we (the rest of the Pussycat Trolls) carried on as a threesome to finish in 12.10.
It was a pretty night on the moors and conditions underfoot weren't as bad as I'd been expecting after last week's arctic recce. The marshalls were all brilliant, really cheery. I'm definitely going to take rucksack fairy lights again as they were much admired by the other teams (or possibly laughed at :)) Thanks to Dave who left us a fantastic present of some chocolate at Bleaklow Stones which picked us up nicely - I've been trying to figure out which dave you are but don't know!
Cheers all,
Clare
Yup, just after the climb up Kinder. Seems to be less sore today. Fingers crossed!Quote:
