This was our (the Southwell Gazelles*) first time at the HPM and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. What a brilliant event. The weather and conditions underfoot just couldn't have been better. We were one of the early starting teams and looking back from Howden Edge to the torchlight procession following behind was a sight to behold.
The sunrise on Bleaklow was just serene, and the whole experience is one we'll never forget.

Totally agree with that, what a sporting bunch they were, and good to see Harriet get a mention. She is a veteran of many BG supports including both my attempts and trotted alongside us all the way in from Snake Pass. No bother!:thumbup:
