Big thanks to Steve & Wynn for another fantastic day (& to all their helpers). Thanks to Grouse & family for keeping an eye on Emma & to Emmilou for offering to step in if Grouse didn't make it. Thanks to Chris K for doing the juniors - 100 runners is fantastic.

Great to meet all the forumites. Do I get a prize for predicting Fellrunner would be first back? I was obviously a year early, as my time last year was more or less identical to Fellrunner's this year. (6 minutes slower this year - 1hr 52min.)

I can also claim membership of the club that went to the knoll to the right of High Spy! I reckon it cost me roughly half a minute, so no big deal.

Not sure how I managed to drag my poor old weary body up to Paddy's Pole yesterday, but I'm suffering for it this morning.
