Took it easier than usual as I was trying out my front pack for the MdS with two 800 ml water bottles attached.
Weather was good, snowing at the start but generally quite bright, icy underfoot on the moors though this did make it marginally less boggy. Ice took its toll on some though, the blood smeared road at the foot of Keigthly Gate being a timely reminder to watch you footing.....
Compelted in 4 hrs 3mins, only 3 mins outisde my target time and quite happy with that. Felt OK too until the final big climb up the Chevin, a real killer which completely wiped my out. Still, recovered enough to make up a few places on the final three mile run to the finish.
Slide show as promised. Just click on the thumbnail....
