Three Black Combe Runners stumbled and slid their way round the Isle of Jura Fell Race in quite nasty conditions this weekend:
The front runners – Rob Jebb in 3:28, Ian Holmes in 3:34, Angela Mudge in 3:59 – were all about 20 minutes off their best due to the weather, which was very cold and claggy but went back to sunshine and midges as soon as the race was done.
It’s a great event, just as everyone says, and I’ll be at the front of the queue (though not the race) again next year. Look out for a full report in the Newsie quite soon before Christmas.
