Nine Standards Fell Race - Thursday 1st January 2015

So another year passes, hopefully this one will be better. 

I head up to Kirkby Stephen to watch, sadly not to run, the fell race. The weather is similar to last year, albeit about 10c warmer ! I drive to the end of road, I'm early so I decide to walk to the summit. It is wet and windy, I am well wrapped up against the elements so stay warm and dry. 

I take it easy but get the summit and quite a way back down before the racers pass me, I give words of encouragement. I am back at the camper before the leaders return, the weather is getting worse and the runners look like it's tough going. It's good to see and support the race.
