Black Coombe

Sunday 11/06/07

Black Coombe fell race - 8miles / 3510ft
21st place in 1hrs 26mins 33secs

Took nearly 8 minutes off my previous best for this, with each lap being quicker than in 2005.
Followed Brian Thompson up yet another interesting route, which Hazel seemed to think was much better, I am not convinced. We were lucky to nail the last top in the pea soup.
Mike R gleefully told me that if I hadn't been overtaken by Leigh in the finish field, Borrowdale would have been on equal points with Dark Peak for the team prize.
Not to worry though, I don't think Chris Steele is eligible yet and I'm sure Scoffer has enough Pete Bland vouchers to sink a ship.
