Race Date: Saturday 7th October 2017
A piece of advice to everyone. Don’t run a fell race after being stuck with Typhoid, Tetenus, Polio and Diptherea the day before. Throw in Springvale Spirals, beer and curry the night before and this was never going to be a good experience. Almost my first ever DNS on the start line, it certainly crossed my mind but what the hell, 10 miles in the LDS is 10 miles in the LDS. It cost me a day in bed afterwards but hey, it’s all part of the experience!
