Mercia Fell Runners Club

­Some of you doing this race may have noticed a guy amongst you with a weird looking thing on his head - it was a rearward facing camera set to take a picture every 5 seconds (they don't call me 'gizmo' for nothing!). Of the 1,330 pictures it took before the batteries went flat, the bulk are no good because my head was jigging around too much for it to focus properly, but a few are good enough to show. Here they are:

• Climbing up the initial ridge
• Climbing Jonathans Hollow after CP1
• Climbing out of Jonathans Hollow
• En-route to the Prtway
• Piling on the speed along the Portway
• Approaching the re-entrant to Ashes Hollow
• Ascending the ramp to Barristers Plain
• About to descend into Minton Batch
• Climbing up Windy Batch
• The view backwards from the top of Windy Batch
• Climbing up to Callow
