Hodgson Brothers Mountain Relay (HBMR) for DFR, leg 4 with Andy Berry. Waiting longer than expected in the cold at the start, as we were doing well after 1st leg (14th place), but didn't know what happened later, and turns out we'd lost a bit. Got going and it is straight up to Hart Crag, steep climb, thought I'd be in trouble, but turns out Andy was feeling worse, and that set the pattern for most of the leg, with him trailing a bit. Except on the last 400m on the road when some other teams were around and he started putting the boot in.

Damp start so no climbing today. Set off for walk to the Mountain House and Sky Top. Up Giant’s Path which turned out to be fun scrambling between boulders, and found similarly fun crevasse descent off Sky Top. Then torrential rain started and a miserable hike back to car.
