The previous month of dry weather ensured optimal racing conditions underfoot and the summit ridge breeze wasn't strong enough to interrupt forward momentum so record times were always on the cards. Ben Bardsley duly obliged and lowered Ricky Lightfoot's 2007 mark by 16 seconds. Racing was tight as the first 7 runners finished within 64 seconds of each other and included the winning V40 and U18 runners.
There was a good turnout from the club, with many who had competed in the club-championship race at Coledale Horseshoe at the weekend, deciding they hadn’t been exhausted quite enough. Following a strong climb which saw him placed second at the summit, Matt Fraser raced back to Revelin Moss in 26.25 for 4th, followed by Steve Hebblethwaite (26.33) in 5th.
