felt bloody crap most of the way round but stuck it out to the end. BUT the upside is that i met some great lads out there. pity the majority of road bashers don't talk, they should try an ultra for a great 'crack' between fellow sufferers!

Short arms and deep pockets. A yorkshire man.
haven't got a clue, ask lads that i was with....either i was worth talking to or they were too knackered to run away!

Don't worry Anti, you're safe - too hirsute for me. Nice to meet you though all the same.
What's all this about alcohol at Mankinholes? I wish I'd known. I could have been half an hour faster.
Thanks for the biscuits Ady. I did avail myself of a cheeky little Blue Riband.
Many thanks once again to Brett and helpers for another great event. The turnout seemed massive this year.
I've uploaded my pictures. Anti and Fly make appearances. Anyone else?
Fantastic Event! :thumbup:
Route, organisation, even weather pretty much spot on
pottered round with clairster in 8:24
fueled mainly, in my case, by 3 jam doughnuts and a shedload of shortbread biscuit
great pics from Ady and Nick (in whose I can spot myself, Marvin, John4of5 & merrlylegs)
Scramble the rock face through the glare of morning sun — to run
My first Hobble and I really enjoyed it. Loved the route - especially the first part over the moors and around the reservoirs listening to the skylarks, grouse, curlews and lapwings serenading us. I took it quite slowly as my legs were still pretty tired from the marathon I did 2 weeks ago but was pleased to finish in 8h 27min. Made the mistake of having a hotdog AND a jam doughnut at the lunchtime checkpoint and had to walk for about 2 miles while they went down!
Many thanks to everyone involved – had a cracking day out :thumbup:
