Lowther Lakeland Trail Run (Part of Lowther Country Show)
Started and finished next to the ruins of Lowther Castle - went through Ashham village onto Askham fell (a BL O area) to CP on Heughscar hill. Dropped down acros the valley of Heltondale, then wet feet crossing the river Lowther before a short steep climb over Knipe Scar. Last 2 and a bit miles were mostly downhill on either a tarmac road or hard track which was tough going - the rest had been on mainly grassy tracks. Finished 34th, 2nd V60 - only 11s down on 1st, but there was no way I was catching him. Survived on two cups of water at the drinks points and a pocketful of jelly babies. Felt ok at the finish.
