    Completely knackered right now but that was spectacular. Not really a BL kind of chap but wanted to make amends for my horror-show at Heptonstall earlier this year so am chuffed with 2.26. Can't remember much of the course at the moment but I know I bloody loved it - thanks to all involved in org and marshalling, some serious commitment in that weather at the top!

    That was an ace race today. Many thanks to everyone who gave up their Sunday to allow me to run around scantly clad in the wind and rain. The weather was sufficiently poor to make it a bit more interesting. Having not run some of the course before I could easily have become one of the off piste posse after losing sight of runner ahead and behind (felt a little lonely when it was just me and a rather large cow!).

    LuvShack - I meant to give you a Champs entry but had to get one of our guys home, I drop it in the post as I'm not sure I can make Cracken Edge (which is a real shame )

    the trog, always a brilliant race, and I thoroughly enjoyed it today.
    Thanks as ever to the organisers, the marshals and the folk that make this kind of thing happen.

    Well, its that moment you've all been breathlessly waiting for. My indeterminably long first person account of the race.
    (I swear you all just go on the blog to look at lynnes photos....)

    Alas, I was one of the ones going "off piste"! My sincerest apologies for the guy I talked into coming with me; I've felt bad ever since. He probably believed me due to my Pennine top but my local knowledge once the mist is down is 2/5th of bugger all!

    Apart from the detour, a throughly enjoyable day out, the weather only adding to the enjoyment. Many thanks to Carl and the crew for a top day out.

    I was an off Piste-er too. I was oblivious until everyone stopped, just had my head down following the the feet in front. I turned my ankle not long after too but yes it was a very enjoyable day out.

    You didn't visit both of those Kinder Low trig points did you? (Can't believe anyone could do that...)

    I noticed when I walked down into New Mills at about 3pm that Kinder was pretty much clear by then. Typical eh?

    By the way, I picked up an OMM water bottle on my way back down somewhere near Burnt Hill. I handed it in to Carl back at the Scout hut - hopefully it was returned to the owner.
