Criffel Hill Race

18th March 2007
Results
7.5km, 420m

The route was shortened due to bad weather to climb only the first top of Knockendoch. I didn't hear anyone complaining about not going all the way to Criffel main summit! Squally showers were blowing horizontal sleet against the side of my face on the climb. This was extremely painful up until the point when my entire head went numb, and then it became bearable. The descent was the slippiest boggiest thing imaginable.

After plodding round the Dumfries Marathon, I wandered down to New Abbey and took a few photos of the Criffel Hill Race. Once again master descender Brian Marshall cruised to victory. First lady was Jill Mykura in 8th place overall.
