High Cup Nick Fell Race

[Old Whippet]

Cracking race, wonderfully arranged - I love the way the village gets involved. Wonderful preview of the pics Plodder. Some glorious views today.

Well, i got round! eventually....

but...what a wonderfully organised race, many thanks to the organisers who were extremely pleasant and supportive.

fantastic scenery with a good dose of clarts, snow and a little bit of a climb....all in all a lovely start to the fell running year...

oh and it was good to bump into a fellow forumite too (Ade hope you had a canny one)

ps great pics plodder!

Another great race. The community spirit is really nice with a traditional start/finish right in the middle of the village. Great marshalling and course-marking.

I've uploaded my photos to my road and fell gallery. You can see ThePlodder in a few of them. I'm the one with the fetching purple striped hat in his pics.

It's interesting to compare them to the ones I took last year to see the difference in the weather and views.

Don't think you'll have any problems on that score - perhaps the opposite. You've got a real classic on your hands there
