In full: Deceptively tough; long climb on the way up is tough work. Would recommend as an introduction to fell running. Well run event too.

In full: First venture into fell running and what a buzz. It was very tough getting to the top but the crowds kept you going. The return journey was very hair raising but I will definitely do this again.

In short: puff puff puff puff WHEEEEEEE!!!!!!
In full: Saw the hill from the motorway and wondered what I'd let myself in for... Slow plod up up up then amazing down. I went for no-brakes speed probably because I haven't yet broken anything falling down a large hill. It was fab. I could tell that there was a view at the top, but I have no idea what it was. A very exhilerating and friendly race.
