Unfortunately one of our team was recovering from a bug and had to wrap it after Edale Cross so we finished with 3, think that might put The Nuns into second place but can't remember if they finished in front of the AvonLadies or not. A bit disappointed but still enjoyed it and it was good to give the Nuns a sprint finish . Well done everyone, and thanks to all the organisers.

Good effort and a shame for JM.
No way could I have chased you lot back to Edale

I was going okay until falling down a bog and my left leg just was in a world of pain. I had at least 8 pain killers but by the snake the wheels fell off.

Thanks to IDP, Adam and Mick for really pushing me and pullin me round.
A true team effort
Floorless navigation from Ian. I think he lives on Bleaklow.

Thanks to all the marshalls

Hey

Well I have to say that last push from you finished me off for a while.
For a minute I thought you had gone down the air shaft.

Oh and can you ask Margarine if she has any remedies for 2 x missing toenails.
God they look like Geoffs toes

We (Team Porridge) finished 16th in 12hrs 10mins. Colin's gone home to coat his body in Deep Heat!

Quality night, cheers to all the marshalls/prganisers.

Top effort Chris...will have to catch up sometime.

[Al Fowler]

Many thanks to the organisers for another great night out. Emmilou made the difficult decision to drop out at Moscar with a stomach bug so we (the rest of the Pussycat Trolls) carried on as a threesome to finish in 12.10.

It was a pretty night on the moors and conditions underfoot weren't as bad as I'd been expecting after last week's arctic recce. The marshalls were all brilliant, really cheery. I'm definitely going to take rucksack fairy lights again as they were much admired by the other teams (or possibly laughed at ) Thanks to Dave who left us a fantastic present of some chocolate at Bleaklow Stones which picked us up nicely - I've been trying to figure out which dave you are but don't know!

Cheers all,
Clare

Yup, just after the climb up Kinder. Seems to be less sore today. Fingers crossed!

Excellent pix Richpips.
