We were blessed with a cool and dry evening for the race this year. The route continues to challenge folk to prove their lines are the quickest. The proportion of fast running is high with the odd bit of “sub vertical heather” thrown in. Certainly in the debrief at the Yorkshire Bridge all the talk was of the merits, or otherwise, of different lines. The other point of conversation was of Despina's outright win, probably a first in the annals of Dark Peak unless I am told otherwise. Notable runs also by Bradbury, Woods and Small with Graham Berry finishing in good order as the first octogenarian. Spare a thought (fat chance) for the Race Organiser who managed to get off line traversing around Lost Lad.
On the bird front we had Skylarks, Curlew calling over the Cakes and Pike Lowe and Greylag / Canada Geese flying over Pike Lowe.
Thanks all
