He passed me looking cool as beans walking up from Troutbeck while I was descending (dying inside, praying for a stream to sit in :)) Top fella. I loved HM55 and HM60, must give the 30 a go next year.

We did the Hebden LDWA a few times when it was first Saturday of the year but H30 is a great replacement. In 2012 it was the brightest day of a damp, grey holiday period. Route is torture for me; way too runnable. Missus loves it

Took my top off and stopped at every stream to cool down. Dogtanian and his Spartan buddies watered me down in the Spartan camp and they had some really nice soup. 10:08 finish happy with that. Was faster in the second half once it cooled a bit. was wearing f-lites and some cheap lidl socks no blisters no sore feet. No DOMS. The only disappointment for me was there was far to many biscuits and nit enough nice stuff like the fruit and soup they had a little bit off.
