Carnethy 5

A much better day weather-wise than expected for marshalling of the Carnethy 5 today. We were on the top of South Black Hill (side of Scald Law), a little windy but mostly dry - huge improvement on the past couple of years.

Great to see SparseRunner - he appeared to be making good time and an unusual amount of smiling faces heading past, maybe it was because it was still early - I’m usually further along the course.

Then it was home to cook supper for 9 of us marshalls/wags. A rich venison stew that had been marinading in brandy and red wine for a few days - yum!
