Dockray Hartside

Wednesday 09/05/07

Dockray Hartside fell race - 6miles / 1950feet
I stopped the watch at 60 mins dead though I think the time keepers had me down as a few minutes quicker than that. I won't be complaining (!)

Nice mid week lakes race with the usual suspects - Chris, Mike and Hazel.
Ben Bardsley and Morgan made their intentions clear from the off.
Ben even coughed to reccying it the day before.
Perhaps I should have done that instead of battling round Buttermere Sailbeck yesterday in the wind.
Felt strong on the climb and tried to get up to Andy Beaty coming off Hartside.
Then it all went pear shaped for me and Keith in taking the high route to Common Fell.
The down and up route is miles quicker as Richard Unwin smugly informed me as I crossed the line.
