Borrowdale Fell Race Report

I finished in a time of 4hours 52minutes in 222nd position - out of about 400 runners. It was HARD. There seemed to be an awful lot of UP and not a lot of DOWN. Going up Great Gable and Dalehead were agony - I almost had to stop walking at a few points!!

However, going DOWN from Scafell Pike on the scree was bloody good fun even though its the 3rd time I've been up there and not seen a thing for clag.

Still, I feel a lot better having done my first Borrowdale and I met loads of very friendly people over the weekend. Even managed to get carrot cake at Yew Tree Farm Cafe. BLISS.
