First time I've run this having thought about it for a few years - references to road stretches have always put me off. However it's a great fell race and definitely needed studs today. Yes it is quite a run back along a track and then road but it is a beautiful back lane and there were no cars. The high limestone country that was the majority of the race more than made up for it.
Cakes were good as well and a great jazz singer for entertainment.
great little race... it's just a shame thawites wouldn't lend me a shire horse at the start! a little gem of a race.. great to see Derby tup again( joggin round!)
I was definitely joggin round ... I threw the odd limp in for extra effect.
Sorry for the no-show. It wasn't 'cos it was raining.
Got ground rush with the move north, Brotherton Lass left for the frozen wastes this morning.
Poacher turned game-keeper
