Nice vid, great job

Great race to watch. Holmsie just gave Rob too much time at the top, plus Rob took a better line this year. (although it was nowt like the great mans, who was tracked all the way down by Daz Kay and Ben Mounsey)

Some pix taken by Mrs T
Big thanks to the organisers for another great race and day.

Some photos taken from the start of the race (by the missus) and a few at the end. Great race, though found the decent tricky, got lost a few times around the quarry, had to ask a few walkers which way to go!!

Quarry?? Never saw it :sneaky:Well done glossop boy, i loved the drop off the Old Man, however my feet suffered again...i've got huge blisters on bottom of heels!!

Thanks to organisers for yet another brilliant race.

Also well done to the few Sunderland Strollers who entered on the day and then did
Keswick 1/2 on the Sunday.

Felt pants up Wetherlam but managed to SligShot up the Prison band and never stopped overtaking it seemed! Took a different line towards the bottom of the Old Man (headed left after the quarry) than those just in front as I'd recce'd going right on Friday and didn't enjoy it - it seemed to work!
Then hit the track/road and everyone seemed to be going backwards - maybe the person on Trunce thread who called me a roadie has a point...

1st ever Lakes race, very enjoyable. Pleasantly surprised with my performance, need to get myself up there more often!
Nic, 1hr25 and a bit.
