He was at least 2 minutes behind the leaders on the ascent to Swirl How at Prison Band...about 10th at that point. Mind you I did see him carrying a parachute in his backpackOriginally Posted by Insider
I managed to get some decent video footage but unfortunately missed the second bunch of leaders ascending Swirl How.
Interesting to watch the final steep descents off the Old Man, Rob and Danny Hope appeared first taking the direct route straight down to the right of the mines but Holmsey popped up out of nowhere from the main path and joined about 100yds or so in front of them. I wonder if he went straight off the top then veered back onto the main path just below the mines.
Great to see Holmesy win. Shows the sport is not just about huff and puff but also technique, bravery and guile. All qualities I failed to demonstrate today , although I was pleased with my time.
Must be the prototype zip wire..................
Olivia was leading and feeling good, until just before hitting the road (half a mile to go?), she had a nasty fall. She was down for a while, allowing Emma Clayton to pass, but she was able to limp in to finish 2nd.

sorry didn't see you
Was not me - I'm doing Hambledon for 'em tommoz. Was the couple from the photog shop in Burnley. Hoping it's going to shape into a good hub for pics, especially fell - I know another very well known photog has signed up to do some pic work for 'em.
Yes that was pretty much it. Completely gutted!- instead of going to the Ceilidh I ended up Kendal A & E having 4 stitches in my chin. Had really enjoyed it up to that point. Ah well, I'll be back...
Thanks to the people who asked if I was ok, and sorry I blanked most people at the finish- I blame the concussion!
Brilliant race, anyone know when the results are up?
Hopefully never
Did anybody NOT beat me yesturday?
