    It was DT and myself who you were running with down to the dam at the end.

    My knees are very sore now! The wife can bike to work tomorrow, I'll take the car

    You caught us up about 2miles from the end and we had a bit of a chat going over the fields before the last bit of woodland

    Aye, after I'd made that wrong turn !
    Maybe next time I do a race I'll ask everyone who I talk to if they are on the forum - small world innit !!! I did have a chat with Graham Breeze at the end.

    What a great event - route, grub, organisation and all for the price of 7 shiny coins.
    Good company, good weather and a good trot out all round. I guess Anorak must have been the younger of the other 2 runners at the last CP - er, hello Anorak
    Had to pull the car into a lay-by near Clitheroe for a 10 minute power nap as I was nodding off driving home .

    Thanks to all those involved in putting this grand event on.

    I've just had cramp in my right foot. Arch went solid and then my big toe was waggling about of it's own accord!!

    Legs, and particularly knees, not too bad this morning. Must have been all that anaesthetic I had last night

    Thanks to Nidderdale LDWA for the organisation, cakes, stew, etc.
