They got everyone's numbers ok despite everything, so positions and points for the league will be fine.

Hey, no worries Harry; I don't reckon many records will've tumbled yesterday ;) There was more than one moment when I thought only of getting off the hill :eek: and back to the car never mind about recording a time. I think it pretty tremendous that the team recorded the positions given that absolutely no one came back with a number on!

But that's the fun (...when sitting in a good pub, close to a roaring fire with a fine beer in hand of course!) of racing on a day like yesterday. If we could order similar weather though for Austwick but then a nice hot sunny day for Elterwater that'd be fine thanks :cool: (...guess who's away for Austwick!)

how did it go stick sounds like you had a rough one with the weather

It was horrid Cobby, absolutely awful. So bad I almost cried. Grifter beat me on the final run in :(






Oh...and atmosperic conditions were a tad rough too!

Austwick was good, no rain, cool breeze and limestone not too slippy - did anyone put the last lady right who was trying to go round in reverse?:confused:

Creme eggs for all finishers at Elterwater tomorrow. Just been to Asda and bought the lot. Last chance to get some points this year.

Thanks for the creme egg, the race was quite nice too! See you in two weeks.

The next one is in three weeks time on 14th April, none points race, but prize giving ceremony :)

Don't forget it's a Saturday rather than the normal Sunday. I've finally sorted out all the league tables so they should be on the Helm Hill website shortly. If you want a copy before then, then PM me your email address.

T-shirts are at the printers, trophies have arrived and Pete Bland has his vouchers ready for me to collect. So come along and pick up your prizes. There is also a great race round Arant Haw and Winder.

Excellent race over Arant and Winder today, even better to see people suffering more in the heat than me;) .
Oh and well done to all the junior runners today - some brilliant running in the heat.
Really good presentation for all the award winners (those who couldn't turn up missed a lovely occasion).
A big thank you to Alistair and the unsung little team of helpers who staged another successful series.

Didn't feel too bad straight after the Arant Haw race, however my quads are starting seize up tonight. Definitely Sedbergh legs tomorrow!
