Finished 30sec adrift of last year, which isn't too bad i guess, given the weather. Chased a team-mate all the way down the tarmac only to finish about 5metres behind him; gutted!!

I noticed plenty of gel wrappers too, it's pretty annoying when you consider that they must have come out of a bag so why can't they put them back in? Realistically it's very little litter for over 300 hill users but it's still sad to see it.

Not sure what happened to CP1 but at least the detour to the stile (so that's where the 30sec came from!) made the decison to straight line over Pendle Moor an easy one. I reckon it was faster but barely.
