Hi All

As some of you know I'm doing the coast to coast adventure race this weekend - 4 days of kayaking, running, mountain biking, swimming - from Whitehaven to Robin Hood's Bay.

I'm part of the York Mountaineering Club Adventure Racing Team - you can follow our progress online at www.openadventure.com; or it would be great to see some supporting & friendly faces as we race across the country - you can find the route book here: http://www.openadventure.com/c2c/C2C_RouteBookV4.pdf

Cheers
Debs

Thanks to those who came along to cheer us on - it was a nice surprise to see the Crane family at the tranistion from the Hellvelyn run to the Ullswater Kayak, and half of them at the finish too!! The cheering and shouting really does help us during events like this!!!
We finished 13th (I think) in our class - mixed teams - the results are only provisional at the moment as some teams missed the swim over Derwentwater on Friday evening.
Every member of the team is sporting some injury or other but essentially we're all in one piece and still smiling at the end of the event.
See you all soon.
