All,
First of all thanks for coming & all the nice comments,even from those who were stuffed.
Second,my thanks to Pete & Barry for their help-we look forward to seeing them both fully restored very soon-& to Dave,Brian & Fletch who gave support on the route.And of course a big thank you to the team at St Dunstans for their hospitality.
A record turnout-50,just beating last year`s previous record(but not by 10 or more as I mistakenly said earlier).
Noone got lost,I should hope not in those conditions, only a crocked John Mooney didn`t visit the sweetie tree.
Good to see new faces like Andrea taking on a rough long fellrun for the first time & finishing strong & great to have Jim Kelly back for the first time this century(come back next year & I promise to be kinder Jim)
Full results when I can face the onerous task of doing them but a few highlights.
Fastest by a minute from Spyke was Simon Harding
Nearest to target time were Matt Lewis 30 secs under & Simon 33 secs over.
Simon also finished exactly midfield so arguably he was the only one correctly handicapped.
37 of 49 finishers were within 10 minutes of target,19 within 5 minutes.
Finally a message from my beautiful but absent(working keeping the nation`s lights on!) assistant Annette who would love to see any of you like Kirsty who find yourselves on Clydeside & insists I remind you all about her beautiful 4 bedroom holiday cottage on Arran(
