Yeah, sorry about the backside pics. It comes with the territory on vertical uphills. I tried to hold the camera out to the side but it didn't work.Originally Posted by William Clough

Don't worry Nick keep the photos coming, they really capture the atmosphere of a race. I tried to catch you in the last 10 metres but you held me off.Yeah, sorry about the backside pics. It comes with the territory on vertical uphills. I tried to hold the camera out to the side but it didn't work.

Great photos! It looked like a really good and well organised do. I see you were following one of my young AM Mayhem lads, they thoroughly enjoyed it. AM Mayhem is my attempt at getting kids in school into fell running (and hopefully encourage them to join a local club), you might see them about at local races. There'll be a decent AM Mayhem crowd out at the Saddleworth Fell Race on Sunday too if you're about for that?

PS: I was a little disappointed to see you went for the Hayfield Race option rather than joining us at the Old County Tops...next year maybe?!
Hi Chris, I think the speed requirement at OCT is a step too far for me. I've already tried and failed once. I'd need to attack it fresh as a main target, but I'm too greedy so usually not that fresh, if you know what I mean.
Regarding Team Mayhem, I think I followed that same shirt on all three races!
William Clough I heard someone chasing me down to the line and put a spurt on. So that was you then? I didn't see because I was too busy dealing with the temporary nausea from the intense effort.
It's that time of year again - details here ... http://www.t42.org.uk/hayfield/
Cheers, Steve

Rumour has it that one of these three could be an English Champs race next year. I wonder which one?
Anyway, it all kicks off this evening with the May Queen race.
Don't forget that it's a 15 minute jog from registration to the start of tomorrow's Mount Famine race.
Great race the May Queen, it will do well in the champs.
Thanks to Mary and her massive team of marshal's for a great event.
Nice to see Luvshack back racing.
Another Ace Race today :-)

Big thanks from Buxtonia for the 3 days, loved all of it, please pass on thanks from our seniors and Juniors to all organisers and marshals etc - a fab festival of running, great to see the likes of you and Des Gibbons gracing the hills again :-)
Another great race.
Should be a BOFRA with the juniors and seniors running different routes around a similar hill.
Thanks to all concerned.
