Not overly motivated to race today but drag myself along - glad I did, a great, low-key race.
From the Under Loughrigg Road, by the bridge from the park, the route follows the main path to Loughrigg and then drops steeply down to the top of Red Bank. a multitude of paths and trods then lead to Silver Howe. Fortunately visibility was good otherwise this section could be tricky.
Turning at the top the route heads back the same way, over Loughrigg and towards Ambleside. However, there is then a diversion out to Lilly Tarn and an unmanned checkpoint. This confuses many, but I run with a Kendal and an Ambelside runner and, together, we hit it spot on and get the good line back down to the main track.
I run well, coming 16th. Others from Helm include Ant, Brian. Chris, Ali and Dave A.
A hot shower back at registration is a luxury and then soup, tea and cake - not bad for just £3
