—Blakey Blitz Fell Race.

Very windy conditions atop Blakey Ridge at the Lion Inn, not so bad in the valleys.

We had  strong tailwind assisting us on the way out but were not feeling so superhuman fighting the headwind on the return leg.

Race distance 10 miles.

Ewan Sewell was the race winner, with Victoria Sewell second Lady.

Barry Atkinson was 2nd M60 and Andrew Johnson 2nd M65 ( 101st / 2:07:46 ).
