Congratulations to Greg Crowley who, fresh from his exertions on the Dragon’s Back (as reported in the most recent DP News), finished third on Thursday in the 268 mile Spine Race, which follows the route of the Pennine Way. Greg finished the route in 5 days 12hrs 13min, less than 8 hours behind the winner – and it looks as if he’ll be one of only a dozen or so at most to successfully complete the challenge in what cannot have been the most favourable of conditions.
Time for a repeat visit from the DP News editor, methinks … whose dog might also be interested in the recent exploits of Tim Martin and his mate on the PW, shortly before Xmas. A tale, as told by Mr Martin senior, which surely deserves repetition next November in at least two possible award categories.
