High Cup Nick Fell Race

[Sinatra]

I was one of these three runners that caught up with you (blue & white Bingley vest) and almost went wrong. Glad we didn't get lost, did not fancy running any further than we had to in the conditions as this was also my 4th race back after a nine year break being the furthest I have raced for some time. Thoroughly enjoyed the course, will be back next year. Have to agree the soup was great!

A few more markers in that area would have been good as the path kind of disappeared at that point.

Cracking race yesterday - something for everyone including a long, fast, very runnable descent once you got out of the wind. A bit of a change from the round of local 4 mile xcountry races over the winter. Good community effort, and thanks to Morgan for organising it.

Jim Davies (Borrowdale) was 1st man in a new record time. He was also first vet, but with the one-runner, one-prize rule in operation Andy Schofield (also Borrowdale) took the first vet prize. I can't remember who was first v50, but Dave Tait (Dark Peak) was first vet 60.

With Simon Booth also in the top 4 or so, Borrowdale unsurprisingly won the team prize.

Linda Lacon (Holmfirth) was first lady. Wendy Dodds (Clayton) was first lady vet 50.

Got these from Morgan Donelly just now, Word document too large to post according to the error message I got so posted as notepad file, spacing is a little wonky but all info is there.
