Warming up.

Before the Bleasdale Circle fell race.

Rob Hope (on the left) is a triple British and Double English Champion who was in a pretty comfortable lead when he passed where I was marshaling.

Race photos here.

Rob is also the current record holder for the Winter Hill fell race which never be run again, so a record in perpetuity. If you want to see why we all miss this tough winter race have a look at this, just released, video.
