The start was put back by half an hour to allow for the fact that the new parking area was 1.5 miles away from the start. This provided an adequate warm up for those who believe in such things. Conditions were excellent both overhead and underfoot. The only irritation was a seven minute queue at a strategic stile on the ascent to Kentmere Pike. A minority took a different line, over walls, and lively exchanges of views took place as a result. Eyeballs out down the horribly rough Garburn Road got me inside 2 hours by a whisker so I was well pleased. I even enjoyed the mile and a half back to the car.
