12.5 miles

Karen, Steph, Geoff Scott and I attended the Lowther Trail Run on Sunday. Nice setting outside the derelict Lowther Castle. New route to take in the extra hill of Snipe Scar.

153 runners on a very fast course. Morgan Donnelly won in 1.19.45. Karen was 2nd lady.

Not exactly a fell running course. Some moor land to run over, a river crossing, a biggish hill, fast road running and a lot of trails (which you would expect). Not a race for the Northumberland mountain men, but an enjoyable race.

Philip 1st MV40, 4th overall

Karen 2nd lady, 30th overall

Geoff 3rd MV50, 17th overall
