I think it is fair to say that I have a love hate relationship with this event. during the second weekend of May I hate it, for the rest of the year I love it!
This year I had a travelling companion in Dave Nichols so for once it was nice to be able to chat about the event before the start.
We all (myself, Jane Becky and Emma) went up to Cumbria at the weekend staying the Friday night at the Borrowdale Youth Hostel before travelling the few miles to the start of the Anniversary Wa, which is the name for the junior races.
Emma seemed to do quite well last year so we thought we would let her loose again! Plus any excuse to go to Cumbria!
