Today as I stood just past CP4 MrT came running past. Beau Dog and I cheered him past. Odd I thought as I didn't see him when we were on CP1. Looked through the photos and his mad hair was hidden under a blue buff thing :-) Super running as usual but I have to say you did look a tad knackered on the long road in ;-)
Hi Sue
It's always a great lift seeing a friendly face when out on the fells...thank you.
Pendle is a beast of a race and it's one I do every year...I love it.
However, I always seem to struggle with it being near the end of another busy year.
Great to see Nigel back on it...full respect.
