The record book was totally rewritten as Malcolm, Graham and Clare pasted new times; the latter shaved a mere 4 minutes o-f-f Chez's old record.
James Brown had a great start and shook me as I only just pipped him to the knoll; Male had passed some time before. At the trig Male seemed to go off towards the Snake bridge; rumours of a new route or disorientation have yet to be established. I thought I might steal the lead as a consequence of this strange behaviour but Male flew along the edge and went on to beat the record whilst I was very pleased to beat the half hour.
Graham's record run was a significant improvement on his old time, but when Tony and Bob get to work this could yet be lowered to 31.
As usual people were still talking at the weekend of aching thighs; only the descent in the Ulasdale off Lingmell nose compares. John Edwards had a potter round to symbolize his gesture to the pheonix thet there are still embers in the ashes! Nice to see you out John.
