Eyam on Tue 27th Aug 1991

103 startersAfter two miles of grassy fields this race suddenly decides to become a fell race. The climb to the Barrel Inn at Bretton starts to sort people out and for those who think they've cracked it the second more gradual climb over Eyam Moor saps the remaining strength. Virtually all the descent is saved for about half a mile near to the end; quite exciting as you try to watch your feet and look out for orange tape hung from trees as course markers.

Unusually for a 6 mile fell race a water station was included. I didn't stop for a drink but on a hot dry night the cups of water were obligingly thrown over my head as I went past. Charlie tried a fast start but the in-form Graham came through after his usual steady start to just claim first Dark Peaker.
