Then there was a steady climb to the top of the ridge:
At the top the race routes split as the younger runners stayed on the ridge whilst my son and the other runners were sent to the back of the hill:
From there it was a steep descent and immediate climb on the other side:
I just hope the runners had a chance to appreciate the view as they crossed the ground:
Then for the hardest bit with a long and steep 40 m of elevation back to the ridge (seniors got to do this twice!):
From there my son's race was basically downhill back along the ridge:
Once he was happy I went back up to the ridge to start filming the races. First up were the U11 and U13 runners for a fast and furious race:
Once they were all safely accounted for it was time for the U15s which included my son:
I managed to grab a quick photo of my son on my phone as he raced past:

The third race was the U17s who had to do one full lap of the Helm:
Last up were the U21s and Seniors who had to go around twice! It was an exciting race to watch especially the first few runners:
Only one points race left in this year's league so I look forward to being at Elterwater next Sunday for some more dramatic action!
