A fairly small group of trailers arrived at the meeting point this chilly warning, hoping to beat the threatened rain. Gaeleen took the first of the photos as she was there as the sun rose over the ocean.
This was Theo's first run as Sortie Manager and he was not gentle! The initial climb up from Boyes Drive to the top of the mountain was tough. According to Emdomondo, we climbed almost 500 m in the first two kilometres before the meandering tracks around the top of the mountain allowed us to rest our legs a little.
Although the whole distance was just under 11km for the medium group, it still took us 2 hours 45 minutes to complete. The trail was highly technical almost 100% of the run.We took in two of the three peaks we aimed for and the pictures will tell the rest of the tale.
We made it back to the cars just before the weather broke, with the fast group and the walkers still to come in. Final numbers to follow.
