The word had even spread to Barnsley! One of those runners who wear those disgusting luminous orange vests (which should be banned from the Peak District) was overheard commenting to about a dozen of his team mates ‘don\'t follow him in the brown he\'s been lost in his last 4 races!’
But then the race came and went. Redeemed at last, only a slight detour when the organisers added an extra stile, which most racers missed and 10 days of pent up aggression were released. The reward 5th place, ahead of several arch rivals. In the pub over a Guinness and Lamb burger, the banter was gone the p*** takers noticeably silent. \'Fell Cred\' restored.

It\'s a pity the final mile is down the Coombs Dale road; there is a concessionary path that links across to the finish from an alternative footpath descent. There are some steep steps though, perhaps they think it\'s too dangerous an under 11 competed in the main race. Most wore flat shoes, but the gloopy mud on the track along Longstone Edge justified studs.
