Wellington Monument Race - from Roger

12/23/2012

0 Comments

 
On the day before Christmas Eve three Honiton runners decided the best way to prepare for the onslaught of food and drink about to arrive was to run up to the Wellington Monument from Hemyock which nestles in the valley below. After several days of heavy rain there was some doubt if access to the village would be possible but in the event the weather was perfect. The initial hill out of Hemyock was brutal (nearly 1 mile of steep climbing) but once the top was reached it was almost level to the monument and then downhill to the school.
Roger Saunders got round in just over 48 mins with Steve Briggs close behind at
51 mins. The third honiton runner was the only one who had done this run before when she was much fitter but found it tough going this time.
