Here's the view from where I marshalled . . what a great way to spend a Saturday morning!

The video camera is in the photo above on the right . . and in the photos below you can just make out the  leading runners heading up towards the sharp left turn that leads towards where I was waiting . .

Oliver Fox had a good lead when he came up over the hill, and went on to finish first, 101 seconds ahead of the next runner . . you can see him in the photo on the right on his way down again, whilst many of the runners were still making their way upwards . .

It looked like hard work in the blazing sunshine but some runners still had the energy to pull faces and wave as they ran by . .

Once all the runners had gone by I was able to stroll back down to the start and finish area, and took these photos on my way . .
