Carenthy Weekend in the
Mourne Mountains of Northern Ireland
Donard Commedagh Race
31st March 2007
) The winner, Rob Hope of Pudsey, in the lead. He had taken a different line off the hill to Rob Jebb and the gamble paid off |
) Rob Jebb in second place and at this point he still thought he was leading not having seen Rob (Hope) sneak past ! |
) A good day for the Hopes! Danny Hope in 3rd place | ) Lloyd Taggart of Dark Peak in 4th place |
) Angela Mudge on her way to winning and breaking her woman's record |
) Adam Ward chasing a Dark Peak runner |
) Steven "The Cap'n" Fallon having his usual fast descent |
) ..while just behind him was Jon Ascroft showing remarkable poise on the rough going |
) Jill Mykura finished 6th woman but wasn't far behind 3rd. |
) Unlike at Carnethy 5, Malcolm Patterson let Angela beat him this time, probably because Angela was having an outstanding run |
) Second woman and current British Champion, Natalie White of Bingley |
) The one and only John Blair-Fish ! |
