Earlier in the day, together at Ballabeg. (Photo Mike Lambden)
Ray Pitts heads for third in a personal best of 16:17:00.
Sue Biggart failed to become the fastest woman of all time by just 6 minutes and 38 seconds while Michael George made the second biggest improvement of all time knocking 5:13:24 off his 2004 time.
Contrary to public opinion, Sean didn't smile the whole way around! Photo by Dave Kneen
The two fastest Parish Walkers of all time, Robbie Callister and Sean Hands.
Sue Biggart now has three of the four fastest times ever.
Many of this group recorded times that would have been good enough to win in years gone by.
