Tagged on to the back end of Charmian’s excellent junior race event from behind the Newfield in the Duddon Valley, this race flies under the radar somewhat, only attracting a fairly small group of senior runners. It deserves more as it’s an absolutely cracking route and serves up everything you could expect from a Lakeland Fell Race. Some tough terrain, hard climbs, tricky descents and not a single step on tarmac. I found the ascent of Caw quite hard but that’s no surprise with so much climb in such a short distance. I finished in a respectable position although as always seems to happen, there was a very decent V60 runner there to keep me in my place.
Results: 15th/38 V60: 2nd/4 Time: 1:14:05
Distance: 9.4km Climb: 703m
