Here's a link to some photos, mainly of leg 2.

I saw the first 40 or so teams at the first stream crossing (going up) then moved to see which teams crossed the stream (and where) on the 'secret' Leg 2 route choice.

Nat and Billy crossed much further downstream than any other team, and their split times suggests this was a good choice. Keswick A and the first few who followed them crossed as far upstream as was possible where the downhill running to the stream was grassy. Helm Hill ladies, and many other teams including Kev and Jimmy, came down and up the 'non-optimal' (Kelli Roberts words) heather bashing route.
Congrats to everyone, and especially to team organisers Alannah, Graham and Tom.

If anyone (especially team captains) has any anecdotes, please email them to me because the club monthly column in the Macc Express will be on the fell relays. It's all about the 'stories' and telling the wider people why we love our sport.
