It was a glorious day with just enough of a chill in the air to make it comfortable for the runners. I cant imagine running in wind and rain up a hill but then again I cant imagine running up a hill full stop but fair do to those who do.
It wasn't long before we'd reached the top and climbed over the wall by the stile to start making our way down the path. We'd planned to stop about half way down to see the runners go up and then come down again before heading back to the finish line to see them come through.
Tom was doing really well and quite far up the pack on the initial climb and still one of the front runners coming down of Pen y Ghent.
They still had Whernside and Ingleborough to do but we had a wander down to Hull Pot and then stopped for a pit stop in the pub whilst the runners were tackling the other 2 peaks.
An hr or so later we were at the finish line to watch Tom complete the race. He did really well and out of nearly 1000 runners he was in the top 15. Impressive.
