A cracking race this is. The route is brilliant
A big turnout and my attempt to follow Lloydster and stick with him to the fell gate didnt last long.
I had a nasty fall on the first descent and spent part of the night at the Birks Hut with ice over my foot. Managed to finish and have a good battle with the Doctor en route who thrashed me on the descents.

Found out that the talons were crap in the wet. I was sliding around all over the place.
Mr Brigggs seemed to be running around with a smile on his face . Must have been the chocolate brownies he ate that I made.
