Possibly a record turnout despite the poor weather - I\'m sure 4 women is a record, but no record times – too wet and sloppy on the tops, a bit reminiscent of winter. At least the rain stopped before the start.

At the sharp end the Vets had it - where are all the youngsters? Being in

It’s good to hear so many people commenting that it remains a good classic fell runners course. There aren\'t very many that require you to be good and ascending, descending, flat fast running and heather and tussocks, so its a good all-round fell runner that does well in this race and those that don\'t certainly know where their weaknesses are! The descent into Oyster Clough must be one of the best in the Peak, the Crookstone being another.
