[Don't fear the sweeper]

Just received this email. Did anyone see anything?

'STOLEN FROM CONISTON...... ELEVEN HERDWICKS......... UNINSURED..
After a great week away, we returned to an empty field, full of excellent grass, and a vandalised opened gate .......
Searched all over fields, woods and fell, no sign. Eight of the Wethers are shown here..... Smit Mark to left shoulder, many have small horns
STOLEN FROM NEXT TO THE SUN HOTEL CONISTON, Cumbria, Dixon Ground Farm.
I am happy to reward any information leading to their recovery, please can you
help ?

Sheep now found.

That's good news.

Now that the sheep have been found can somebody find the full results list of this years
race.
Now seven days since race, and still can't find results

I know it's all down to volunteers, but I'm chomping at the bit to see how many lasses beat me.

Toying with the idea of a long trip up to do this one this year. Anyone know what the checkpoints are?
Sorry if they are on this thread somewhere, but I can't find them! I've seen the Kendal AC map, whihc is a good start, and know bits of the route but won't get a chance to recce so if anyone has an OS map of the route that would be very useful!
thanks
Dave
