Near perfect weather conditions this week for the 11th Anniversary Waltz.

Four NFRs at this classic race: Gary Jones, Garry Owens, Peter Reed and myself. Gary Jones, at his first Cumbrian fell race, came 31st out of 262 runners. After last weekend's back-to-back in the unrelenting heat, Peter Reed proving this week that he has more go than a sack of duracell batteries!

Ben Bardsley (Borrowdale) won and Angela Mudge came in a stunning 7th overall, shattering the women's record.

Some photos taken whilst running the race:

After a long run in, the gradient suddenly changes	... then it's on all fours up to the rocky bits
negotiating the worn rock steps on Robinson	... forming an orderly queue up Robinson
wey hey! - this was worth the climb	Preparing for the steep descent off Dale Head
Plain sailing across Maiden Moor	The fast descent off Cat Bells starts right here
