Hi all, good to see the EdenRunners out on the first Championship run of the season despite some murky far from ideal conditions. This looks like a pretty tough event to me with cross-country, Pennine Tussocks, rocks and bridleway to contend with.
I walked the Pennine way with Lauren to spectate, and made it up to the snowline before low cloud and freezing wind thwarted my summit ambitions - so we had our picnic sheltered behind a drystone wall, made a snowman then headed into the amazing High Cup Nick glacial valley to watch the racers slogging up the gradual climb - what a sight that was! We managed to clamber back up to Pennine Way to grab a few photos of the runners heading down the final descent - here they are....
Sean running well and Stu disappearing into the distance (Stu gets 5 extra fell 'hardman' points for racing here and HHM the next day!

Nice work Anthony. Whilst browsing in my lunch 10 minutes, I found a link on the FRA forums to these photos -http://www.flickr.com/photos/16289247@N08/sets/72157614565298422/
- you might catch a glimpse here & there of a green 'n' blue vest receding into the distance.

Is that an Eden Runner doing a spot of Tai Chi there?
It's actually semaphore - it reads 'I'm not putting 100% in here, I've got another race tomorrow'
Or is it a homage to Eric and Ernie?
