Congratulations to Nicky for an awesome achievement. Well done to her support and all involved, (DPFR).

What a performance, Nicky is a legend. Probably the most focused person i know to the point of stubberness. Awesome effort in the conditions throught the day which was very warm, the night was so perfect as to be unbelievable. hardly a breath of wind and so clear. A mindblowing sky to the north proved that even the weather gods were smiling on Nicky, Well done to the whole team.

For completeness it's worth noting that this wasn't a DPFR effort although there was large continguent for Dark Peak, Equal in numbers were our friends from Penistone FPR where Nicky started running, Amanda Heading From Race Kit who was the coordinator and made sure every thing/body was where it was supposed to be. plenty of others also helped out

At the finish at approx 2.45am there were 30-40 supporters, family and friends gathered to cheer her in followed by Champagne and beer to toast her success. Nicky Sat in a chair with a huge grin as she recieved hugs from every one.

The party continued at the campsite for those who could keep awake until 4.30am with more beer and whisky.

Anne Johnson turned up again as Nicky was taken out for a celebratory meal after a lazy morning(for most) on the campsite.

One wonders what great feat Nicky will come up with next.

What a fantastic achievement - very well done to Nicky.
The fact that Anne's record has endured for 17 years is testimony to how tough a day this was.
'Nails' is very appropriate IDP!

What were Nicky's extra 2 peaks?

. A mindblowing sky to the north proved that even the weather gods were smiling on Nicky,

just done a bit of research and it's called Noctilucent cloud, very rare and only occurs at certain times in conjunction with certain weather condition.

It was very similar to this, I'll try and find out if any one got a good picture of it.
