Gisborough Moors Race


YC ran the Gisborough Moors Race yesterday. It's a 12.5 miler that takes in Captain Cook's Monument and Roseberry Topping. Conditions were superb with a blue skies and a gentle breeze on the tops. He got round in just over 100 minutes. This was nothing compared to John Telfer and Phil Green who had warmed up by running the Allendale Challenge [25 miles] the day before. Despite the ravages of the Pennine peat bogs the day before, John was only 3 minutes slower than his previous time at Gisborough. He later admitted that he had employed his secret weapon: he had been training on beer during the week. Good man.
