The conditions were fairly benign with reasonable weather and good visibility albeit it got quite cold at night. Conditions underfoot were relatively dry.
John Vernon had completed his first Fellsman 50 years earlier and was presented with a special award. He had enjoyed this event just as much as the first one.
