inc the SAL Hill Running Champs.
Took it out hard to test the boys who had a marathon in the legs from the previous weekend. They stuck with me to the bottom of the steps in the woods but I was able to build a gap from there to the top of the first hill. From there it was just a case of hanging on to the end which I managed, helped by the fact that Sam Hesling got disorientated at the top of the second hill and did a 180 when he was in second place.

Leg 4 of Ackers BGR. A slow plod through the misty night. I couldn't quite bring myself to run at 23:51 pace so I did a fair bit of scampering ahead to scout out the summits.
Not a bad effort given that of the three of us (Graeme, me and Julian Hall who once taught me linear programming) had never covered most of these hills before and Julian and I had never done night navigation on the fells, and we were in about 20m visibility for the whole trip!
