The route was slightly altered this year to miss precipitous second half of horseshoe as the forecast was atrocious &#8211; didn&#8217;t really matter as it was great running anyway. I was a bit apprehensive as the map showed a 3 &#8211; 4 mile flat run to get to the hill &#8211; needn&#8217;t have worried as this was pleasantly undulating and technical with beautiful scenery along the edge of Loch Maree. The main climb was extremely steep at one point, but miraculously the weather was infinitely better than forecast. Torridonian sandstone seems great for running on even when wet &#8211; very grippy. The race is advertised as 20km and 1180m of new money, is it the most northerly AL ?  <br \/> I expected there to be about 50 wet Scots stood by the road at the start, but in fact there were 150 in a very nice warm village hall that was rammed full of cakes (not quite as many as Jura but a good effort nonetheless), there are even hot showers afterwards. Two brown vests were there &#8211; me, and Es Tresidder who cunningly concealed his Jura-winning potential by leading himself and the lead pack down a duff route off the hill.  <br \/>I&#8217;d highly recommend this race, especially when combined with a holiday in this splendid area.&quot;    <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><font color=\"#0000ff\">Hallam Chase.            <br \/>Otley Chevin. <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">Not expecting any visitors, am I?&#160; No, and marshalling it is easier than running it\u2026\u2026      <br \/><span style=\"color: #0000ff\">Blencathra.&#160; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edenrunners.co.uk\/blencathrafellrace.html\">results<\/a>.         <br \/>Friday \u2013 Castleton         <br \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff\">Jura:-&#160; <font color=\"#000000\">Preliminary news filtering through suggests that \u201c<\/font><\/span>Es won, and DPFR first men\u2019s and ladies teams\u201d That\u2019s going some, please can someone enlighten us upon their return?

On arrival Dave Taylor&#160; was not looking too good and was unable to enter and had to retire to the car and toilet. Just as the race started the sun came out and the top of Cader Idris started to clear. Lloyd led the field home and only just missed the record by 9 seconds and twice had to stop to pull his socks up! Followed home by myself, Jim Twohig and Keith Holmes, all equally having a good race. Good conditions both underfoot and weather made it pleasant run.
