Untitled - Dark Peak Fell Runners

A superb week of tranquil solitude in unlittered, uneroded
hills. Apart from Merrick (on a Sunday) I saw only two others on
the hills in the entire week. Almost all of it was new, requiring
careful navigation in the frequently abysmal weather. Idyllic
interludes included dawn above clouds, magic sunsets after 10pm
and distant views of "hills without end.

RACE REPORTS AND RESULTS
************************
KINDER DOWNFALL : 21 APRIL 1991
Some very poor conditions brought a confused situation at
this year's Downfall. The final control at Edale Cross appears to
have become optional with many competitors cutting straight down
onto the path and saving a couple of minutes. Unfortunately a
reliable checkpoint marshal was also missing so there was no way
of knowing who had run the full route and who had not.
Andy Trigg did visit Edale Cross which makes his time even
more remarkable. Phil Crowson also had a fine run, only 20 seconds
off second place.
