It was a cracking day from start to finish. Quite warm in the valleys and cool on the tops, no rain and only a light breeze.
Tim got barked at by Nick and I all the way round (sorry Tim!) but he did manage to smash his previous record and finished in 6hrs 53 minutes. A big improvement - well done!
I was impressed with Tim's determination to get round and for a non-runner, I thought he did a great job.
For me, this was quite a slow trot round, but very valuable nonetheless. 23 miles of hills, bogs and fell can't do anybody any harm. Add to that great scenery, crackng weather and good company and you've got a great day out. Cheers Nick and Tim!

You ever completed the race? It's a cracker. Perhaps a bit busy but a great run.
Hope your training is going well.
Way to keep things fresh by mixing it up. Must be nice to be outdoors with no snow on the ground. We finally got a Spring thaw here the past few days, so the trails should be clear of ice and snow by the weekend.
