Picking up from where t'Y left off :- TF headed for home from the Pike, saving her energy for organising and possibly running in a Salford Harriers relay squad later in the day.
Then it was Two Lads where we saw CW and t'Y head for home.
That just left Matt, TYC and me to head past the mast to the top of the ramp to do a "Down and Up the Ramp" pursuit. Being chief handicapper, I gave myself a one minute start over Matt, which he had reeled in by the time we hit the gate at the bottom. I then managed to make a small inroad into his lead on the climb. Matt's times (down then up) were 8:05 + 15:17 -> 23:22 and Mine were 9:05 +15:04 -> 24:09.
TYC was over-ambitious and gave us both an over generous start that proved too much to recover. He did, however post the excellent times of 5:12 + 12:44 -> 17:56 ~ well done that man! Reference to my records from 1999 - 2001 indicate that the record is held by Kev Gaskell, with 4:58 + 8:12 -> 13:10. Kev also holds the Coope's Doz record.
As we regrouped back on top, were joined by a most personable young lady (Debbie?) who enquired about the local geography. Matt and I sent TYC off to show her Smithills Res, and we haven't seen him since, although he has since reported that she professed to being a police officer ~ mind how you go!
A grand morning out!
Nearly forgot, TYC lost his hat; if you find it, hand it in at the nearest police station.
