With talk of cancellation due to road closures, it was a relief to get the final ok.
Bob, Richard & I started off from the back of the grid (Team 100), so it was good to get a few miles under our belts, and a few teams behind us.
I know my feet were hurting by the time I got to the Cat & Fiddle, and I think Bob's were too, but I don't think Richard was at all distressed, he looked as "fresh as a daisy", even at the end.
It was nice to see the finish, and a time of 10 hrs 47 Mins put us in 14th place overall.
A big thanks to Steve for his support and encouragement along the way.

| Richard, Mark & Bob yomping between the snow drifts |
Although the snow drifts were deep, the sun was shining, the wind was light, and the rain stayed off.
Running down into Edale at 21 Miles and 5:45hrs into the race was a nice feeling.
To give you a brief summary of the outing, we made a short video http://youtu.be/K437H_Sy1To
