Bill (and Ed) finished in just over 22 hours.

As Emmilou says, Bill & Ed came home in a cracking time despite the weather turning worse after Honister.

GeoffB was looking in fine form at Honister and Newlands Church and must have finished in a good time as well.

Plenty of other successes and some very happy folks at the Moot Hall

And what a fascinating sight it is at the Moot Hall!! All these drunks turning out of the pubs thinking they're really something for having managed to down too many pints....and then these real heroes turning up after 22,23 hours on their feet and quitely slipping away without fanfare.

Glad to hear GeoffB made it, met him just before Steeple and I'm sure it was him at Blacksail just as we finished going up the steep part on Kirkfell but it was someone else who finished after us.

Didn't wait for any more finishers as needed a sit down and a pint

Chris Preston (whom I was supporting on leg 2) got round in 22:29 so well done to her. Not sure how the other Tod Harrier (Rick/Rees - I didn't actually get his name!) got on but was well up at Dunmail.

There was also a contender from Bowland Fellrunners who was on the same schedule - any news of him?

I was supporting a Bowland fellrunner who got round in 22:07, not sure if another Bowland runner was doing the round?

Thats who the cheers must have been for, well done to Chris (think it was her I was at the bottom of long stand with in the Duddon Valley)

The other Tod Harrier was Rhys Watkins, who completed in 22.15.
He had an excellent run and never looked seriously troubled, in fact he actually seemed to enjoy himself. Which to my mind is just plain weird.
