I don't want to be a wet blanket, but Jo Waites told me that she pointed out to that young girl Melanie Hyder (Helm Hill) before the start - [and she is very young] that she didn't have a bum bag or anything, when we had been told to carry a cag.

The lasse's dad tied a cag round her waist and away we went.
I noticed a pink cag on the road as we jogged up the hill, and one or two folk remarked that she threw it on the floor after we'd set off.

It wasn't a very nice day weatherwise.

Even an experienced runner like Tim had a bad accident. It's a long way down that hill in the cold when your crocked.

Kids eh ?
