Old County Tops

First time on this one and longest fell run to date as well. Just under 9 hours and a great day out. The organisation, food and marshalls were all excellent. Even the conditions on COM couldn't dampen my spirits, the rest of the weather was helpful with the cloud sticking on the tops only and providing some great views as we dropped out below and the wind for the most part assisting on the climb up Helvellyn.

Never thought I'd enjoy an egg mayo sarnie quite as much as at Cockley Beck though!

Well done to all that finished, or had a go, well done Muddy and mate for winning the first female pair (i was running with Gerry, with the hole in my shorts and the pink pants underneath!)
If Rice Pudding Boy reads this: we didn't get lost:p

Good to meet you too Claire and Kirsty. Had to put in a burst as Gerry got a sniff of the Langdale teapot!
