Kinder? This race is on the Howgills, not the Peak District.

How much is it to view the pics?

Well - the quest for that top 50 spot in an English Champs race continued today... in what seemed like 3 seasons in 1 race.
Blogorama - with not many photos... I'm afraid I didn't take my camera on the run with me.

Nice one mate - you deserve those champs points for the work you've put this in year.

ha ha - aye, Winder not Kinder. I'd never been to either before today and it was tough holding on to a map - never mind reading the small print.

Greta blog as usual Tim. Looking at the split times, I never got more than 2 mins ahead of you. We were between 1 and 2 mins apart throughout the race. I felt like I was going backwards from the Calf onwards so very pleased not to get pipped right at the end. A pretty epic race!

Many thanks to the Marshals and Jon and the organisers for a memorable day out on the hills. Weather wasn't toooo bad in the end!

Enjoyed a chat with marshal on Kinder - making sure he knew how grateful us runners are to chaps such as he.

I can, indeed, confirm that it was on the top of Winder that we had our chat - I don't think that Jon would have been too pleased if I'd set up my checkpoint on top of Kinder

It's also worth thinking on the fact that many of the marshals for a given race could well be competitors on the next, we've just chosen to play a different role on that day. I know that generally the runners are grateful, because I'm generally grateful to the marshals who put the time in to the races I run in. I enjoy my day out whether I'm racing or marshalling, no better, no worse, just different. It helps keep races relevant and builds the sense of community - maybe more people should try it rather than chasing their tails on Facebook and the Forum?

Challenging event.

Thanks to organiser and marshals who endured some rotten conditions with the wind and rain.

That was my 1st and last AL race. Why anyone wants to be out for that or more time is clearly not of sound mind and body in my opinion.

Those AL's sort the men from the boys.

Me? I'd be a boy.

Well done Trev, at least you had a go.
