Jim F's shoes definitely looked like they had done 15 HPM.

Seriously though congrats to everyone who finished, it wasn't the easiest and some good experienced teams didn't finish complete. I'd agree with all the previous comments on the checkpointers, chefs and organizers - if any of you are reading this, thanks (especially the kitchen bods who fed my 4 year old son sausages.) If any of the later teams didn't get sausages, I'm sorry, my 4 year old son ate them all.

And why did the checkpointers at Cut Gate have a submachine gun? I hope they had conducted an appropriate UKA risk assessment.

Anyway, I'm off to check the results again - we have lost 1 place since the event finished, at this rate by the end of the month we will be last.
