A great weekend all round and a really good laugh on Saturday night at the Rab overnight campsite. Why our part of the campsite resembled a bomb site can only be blamed on the dry sunny weather, hence stuff strewn everywhere! If it had been raining I'd have been a lot tidier and more organised.
Great to see so many people; Sarah, Angela, all the way up from Plymouth and a few Northern Mountain Monkeys. Big congratulations to Ant. Emmett and Helen Jackson for a storming run to place very highly in the Elite, and also to Dave and Jerry who struggled through against all odds with bad guts.
The Howgills always make for hard Mountain Marathon courses and are confusing even in good weather. Some really steep slopes, both up and down, and the inevitable contouring conspire to make some pretty sore feet ... even caught Wilko griping a bit! I wonder what it would have been like in the mist.
Well Done to the Rab Team - nice to do a MM in a manageable size. Great effort.
