Any sign of results? Forgot to stop watch at finish (as per usual...)

What a great little race this was. I really enjoyed it, especially the really fast descent.

Briiliant write up Daleside-thanks for providing free quality reading material to have with the Sunday breakfast!
Well done Lizzie too!

Great race! Great write up. Lots of photographers out on the course - anyone seen anymore shots? And results?
It's nice to see Morgan Donnelly does results as quickly as he races (saw him at Grasmere today).Originally Posted by brett
Also, thanks Daleside for doing the results down to tenth on your blog. I'm still pleased to see my name published anywhere.
DJ - you're right: very nice race. I hope to be back for this one next year.
It was great watching Lizzie Adams shoot off. When that happens you always think "they're either really good, or they've got it very wrong". Either way it's entertaining.

i'm sure you've read it already now!
I'll get me coat!
I travelled up to the 150th Dufton Show.
What a great show with a fell race thrown in for a fiver.
Fast runnable race with only one short steep bank. Thanks to all who put this event on.
It wasn't looking too good on the drive up the M6, it was absolutely lashing down. Should I just turn around and do Pendleton again instead?
Thankfully curiosity got the better of me and I ticked off another race I hadn't previously done....in what turned out to be half decent weather.
The show is mainly agricultural and the setting is stunning in a lovely unspoilt area.
Dufton pike is the prominent hill seen from the show field. The race is pretty much a run across fields then up and around the Pike on a steady climb which soon turns into a hands on knees slog. This is rewarded with a cracking descent down the shoulder of the fell and back across the fields to the show field.
Congratulations to Daz Kay making it 3 wins in a week, the other 2 being Pendle 3 peaks and Horrick Hill. Cracking running by Phil and Jim Davis pushing Daz all the way.
Top runner Vic Wilkinson finished 1st lady and 4th outright.
Great day out, many thanks to all involved.
