The Ladies team took the team prize.
Decided to do Coniston again and it appears to have got steeper since 2009. It’s a climb from Coniston to Weatherlam, Swirl How, Old Man & back to the village. I managed to fall and take a lump out of both knees and an arm on the only boulder in sight which convinced me I couldn’t descend safely after that, consequently finishing 17 minutes slower than last time, a remarkable effort in just 7½ miles. I wasn’t helped by my dog Billy who spotted me en-route and joined in to do the last 2 miles with me. Stayed up for the evening and went drinking Coniston Bluebird with Tod Harriers, it rained all Sunday – the exception to the rest of Great Britain which basked in Mediterranean temperatures.
