Some great performances this year, in lovely conditions.
In the junior race two new records were set - very impressive runs by Estelle Lowe and Joseph Murphy. In the senior race, Ben Mitchell's ascent was the 4th fastest recorded time, beaten only by the first three runners in 1992, the year of Keith Anderson's record. He didn't get the best line on the descent though - maybe next year.
Megan Carter-Davies came closer to the ladies' record than anyone has managed since we started organising in 2006.
Overall weekend honours went to Rob Furlong of Weston AC and Aisling Wall of Horsforth Harriers.
