Kentmere Horseshoe (twice)

YC ran the Kentmere Horseshoe Fell Race on Sunday. This 11.9 miler heads over the tops of Ill Bell, High Street, and Kentmere Pike in the Lake District. Conditions were near perfect with high clouds and a cooling breeze on the tops. YC finished 43rd out of circa 250 in 1 hours 55 mins. After training on beer and fish & chips in Kendal on Sunday night, YC returned for a second look at the hills on Monday - this time at a more leisurely walk. The race contours around Yoke and Froswick, but YC "bagged" these on Monday to add them to his ever-growing list of 2,000 foot hills.
