Derek Price Memorial Grisedale Horseshoe - Saturday 3rd September 2016

I head over to Glenridding with KA to run this race, a new one for us both. The weather is not great and forecast to get worse, a tough route too: 16k and 1,525m ascent - but a great route. 

The route is from the village hall, to Birkhouse Moor, Red Tarn, Catstycam, Helvellyn, Grisdale Tarn,  St Sunday Crag, Grisedale and then an up and over to the finish. 

We run well and get the right lines, it is wet and windy and poor vis but all goes to plan. We finish in 3:02, I'm happy with that.
