Latterbarrow Loop – over by Ennerdale. results. Mike was 7th, 27.37mins.
Duddon –
Damp, maybe rain later on for the full course, and total clag.
Short:- John Boyle was 2nd, behind Dave Soles, soon followed by Steve Storey, and a poor Carshare who managed the circumnavigation of Caw, trying to find the way down.. results.
Long. results. Glen Borrell sends:- “Had a little issue off the first checkpoint at Harter fell (1) dropping too far into the valley on the right : not too much as picked up my bearing and trusted it till i hit the road and off up to Hard Knott (2). Picking up Mike Robinson (who was running with an injury I later found out) so I tracked him for the most part over to Little Stand (3) (climbing up here the weather cleared briefly) to give magnificent views of the valley. I lost them off the top of here so was on my own again. my nav from here was not to bad but not the best line : in fact I did not see another person until I was about to drop into Three Shires Stone (4). Picked up and couple of runners and ran with them for a bit. Then we got lost in the clag again! ended up being on my own and had a bit of a moment. I was stood on a path, no stud marks in sight, windy, rainy and no visibility! What to do? it felt like i should run one way but the compass said the other. Briefly I ignored the compass, then was like no. Compass never lies! Go back! run due south, yes that’s the way. found some stud marks, picked up 2 more runners, then Mike Robinson came through, where had they gone, who was now guiding a few through along with Hazel. Right lets go with him. Dow Crag (6) ticked, White Pike (7) and Caw (9) and down to the finish. Finished in a pretty reasonable time of 4:07 and placed 25th (well what would have been) .
But Swirl How had been missed out…
Keith can tell you how he spent 5.32 out on the fells. That’s his story for the pub. All i can say is i was very happy when he appeared out of the clag and ran into the finish!
