Here’s what you thought of last year’s race
“Thanks to everyone involved with the Old County Tops. We had for a great day out thanks to all the marshals who where outstanding thanks very much hope to see you all again next year.”
Dave Deason
“Please pass on my thanks to all involved in the running of this year’s OCT. Well organised, friendly, well marshalled and low key - the definitive fell race!”
Julien Minshull - Glossopdale Harriers
“Please pass on my thanks together with the other Dallam guys for yet anther challenging 3 OCT. I won't pretend I enjoyed most of it, but the turn from the Old Man home was brilliant! The thought of the hot soup at the end was further motivation to finish. Great marshalling as ever, especially those guys on the tops.”
John Leech
“Can I take this opportunity to say thank you once again for a superbly organised and friendly OCT race last weekend. A special mention must go to the marshalls at Old Man of Coniston who had a bit of weather to face! See you all next year for the best and most eagerly awaited food of the year - Cockley Beck.”
