The winner was Stuart Bond in 1:05:xx. No sign of Messrs Taggart or Winskill. Times a bit down on last year due to the change to the route to avoid the freshly mown grass.
We've had a debate about the small attendance at this race on this forum before (short race, long way to travel), but I still think it's disappointing that we can only muster 71 for this great race up the highest mountain in England. Mind you, it does make it less crowded.
P.S. I've just plotted the differences between last year's route and this year on TrackLogs. There only seems to be 0.4 miles difference , and the only difference in the ascent is due to the undulations alongside the river. Nevertheless the stagger in to the finish seemed a lot harder this time than the normal glide down the fields.
