Well, we're just back from a great weekend in Horton. Arrived on Thursday for the pre race "preparation" in the pub. Great weather but the wind could have died down a bit!!
Really enjoyed the race, & took 7 minutes off lasts years time, finishing in 4.17.02, although until the Hill Inn I was well down on time, proving the race starts at Whernside, as I knew last year but chose to ignore!!!
I'm not going to get into a slanging match re: kit requirements, save for saying that if I'd had to withdraw on the top of Whernside, I reckon I'd have needed my hat & gloves to stay anything like warm on the way back down!
A big thanks to all marshalls & race organisers, a top quality event again. Special mention has to go to the fine lady at the top of the waterfall on Ingleborough with the big box of sour jellies. I can't even remember if they were cherries or strawberries, but by then I was sick to death of sweet stuff, they were ace!! I nearly detoured on the way back down to get more, so if it was you Thank You (ps what were they, I'm going to get some!) :thumbup:
Had a recovery walk up PyG yesterday, I think it was even windier than Saturday, but at least I had time to look at the view!
Roll on next year, 4.15 maybe???
