and here are a few oldies from the old course in the 1970s

Top to bottom: 1) Allen Moore finishing the 1976 walk in front of timekeeper and former winner Ian Turnbull; 2) John Cannell leads Murray Lambden approaching the Fairy Bridge the same year; 3) Lambden again in 1974 finishing as a 17 year old in front of the late Kevin Madigan.

Photos by the late Bill Lambden. Apologies again that as photographs were taken much more sparingly because of cost in the old days, they tended to be of our own family. Neverthless I hope they give an insght into the way the event, the roads and the ages have changed!
