High Terrain Events put on a tough hard route from Keswick to the roof of England Scafell Pike.
This was part of the Keswick Mountain Festival and at the end of very busy week of events.
I was marshaling at Styhead Pass with Joe Faulkner from NAV4 on the summit of Scafell Pike, I think Joe managed to have a clear summit for part of the day. I was in the cloud all day thankfully not windy. This meant an early start at 05.30 for us to briefed drink tea and be in place ready for the runners to come through.
First Runners Donald and Daisy at my Checkpoint were chased very closely by the winner Ricky Lightfoot a local lad from Cumbria.
The conditions at the checkpoint did not change until all the runners were heading back off the mountain onto the trails to finish back in Keswick
Fist lady was Victoria Mousley, an old friend re-aquainted from many years ago. Its a strange world we live in.
Off they went into the mists this was a good test of folks navigation and mountain running and some fast trail running back to Keswick.
Joe and I met up at Styhead as we swept the mountain to make sure all the runners were safe and off the mountain. 
There are also some pictures on my Facebook Page
