Thanks for all the good comments.109 teams entered and 95 started. anyone who withdrew this year on weather concerns email me next year and I will give you free entry.
Strict kit check still didn't prevent 3 hypothermia cases, one gave me grave concern.Although a low-level Pennine race the weather was testing to say the least. I was grateful for the Mountain Rescue guys as a big safety net.
Just a note on the three exposure cases, they were probably the guys you would think were most adapt to conditions today? If you stacked up their race wins you'd understand. Why? different reasons in all cases but no common denominator.
Thanks, Richard Stott.
