Export resultHigh Cup Nick on Sat 28th Feb 2009
141 startersWe went up today to run the stunning High Cup Nick Race with its tremendous views and amazing scenery unfortunately the weather wasn't playing along and we had low clag/drizzle and brisk cold wind.
141 runners were on the start line of a surprising high class field with a large number of top class male and female runners.
The route up is a cracking 2000ft of ascent, all runable up tracks, trods and open fell with deep boggy sections, walking only the steep last 2-300ft where the rocks were incredibly slippy, Although Dave had disappeared in to the mist with the lead group Ashley, Keith and myself all topped out at the 'Nick' within 10m of each other. A rocky slippy descent followed by eyeballs out grass made for a cracking finish.
A brilliant race and well worth the trip despite the weather.
