Peris Horseshoe on Sat 20th Aug 1994

136 startersA huge dark Peak contingent crossed the border, perhaps inspired by Paul\'s efforts in June on the Paddy Buckley? It was a Championship event and one of the most competitive for years. Six people were inside the old record and only seconds separated the leaders. Conditions were ideal, dry and cool, so no slipping on wet rocks and no problems with navigation. That said I still missed the path off Glydr Fawr and lost several places.

Bob Toogood had a flyer but still didn\'t win the super-vets prize. Bob Berzins struggled up the hills but lolloped down the rockiest descents looking as if he was just shaking out the stiffness yet covering the ground at the speed of gravity. Phil Smith showed practice makes perfect. At Duddon, Wasdale and Borrowdale I passed him after about two hours in the throes of a major bonk. having been in the first 50 at Pen y Pass he crumpled totally on Leweied and was beaten by Jim Fulton.
