Finally completed my unpacking to find the piece of paper with my split times for Saturday (results are up on website - http://www.duddonvalleyfellrace.co.uk/ )
Caw .......................22:08 (22:08)
White Pike ............44:11 (22:03)
Wall Corner ........1:07:03 (22:52)
Dow Crag ...........1:33:20 (26:17)
White Pike ..........1:54:32 (21:12)
Caw ....................2:27:37 (33:05)
Finish .................2:41:20 (13:43)


Final time of 2:41:20 was a little disappointing as I'd managed 2:29 in 2007. But I don't recall it being as warm, I won't have done 13000ft of climb the week before and I was likely to have been 7lbs lighter (under NM's tutelage). Excuses, excuses!

YJ - The way you bounded up Pike 'O' Blisco last wednesday I felt sure you'd have had a good'un on Saturday. I'm sure the long Duddon is still well within your esteemed capabilities, but may require a bit of a longer taper. If you still need an AL this year for any entry qualifications do consider Holme Moss on the 18th July - I usually get round in about 5hrs, there's no cut off's and plenty of water stations on route.

EtU - Well done, especially impressed with the strong finish from Dow.

T'Y - Best of luck in the Pyrenees. Think you've got the training done for the up's, any chance the downs are all good tracks?

Having a go at the Boars Head Fell Race tomorrow from Poynton, but still intending on being out on Thurs.
