Definitely Hardcore socializing. I had to stop a few times for a break.…and needed a nap afterwards.
If you mean the race? 125 teams with 7 athletes for each team. Volunteers, spectators and athletes. A lot of people!

February 4 2025 Just south of the Grand Canyon.......
That's pretty much the temp here and it's the middle of our summer!!
Movie line quote.
Did you know, Putnam, more people are murdered at ninety-two degrees Fahrenheit than any other temperature? I read an article once - lower temperatures, people are easy-going. Over ninety two, it's too hot to move. But just ninety-two, people get irritable.

Having been told that part of the new Downhill section was complete at Kielder( by a main man at Forestry England) ..I was skeptical but needed to see for myself ..( on the old 3 
descent)....
My skepticism was well founded as I saw a digger in action just along from Three Dog Climb and two trail builders at the top of this section confirmed that they had completed 3/4 of the track with work ongoing ...
The intention is to create the longest downhill track in England ( not the UK) ..so while this section is nearing completion there is still months of work to do before that becomes reality.
From what I could see ..(which was limited ) there are some " interesting " rock features ..( which will have cluck cluck options)& huge berms ....looking good .
Some other pics ...
Brilliant weather at Kielder ..but freezing cold weather at home in Bellingham which can be seen by the cloud inversion at the top of the pic ( 12'o clock ..zoom in ) ..
Deadwater in the distance ..where the Downhill work is taking place ..
3dog climb on Deadwater
Snack stop looking down over Kielder Village ..and the " Into The Valley " section..
Deadwater summit
The Cheviot 815m ( an extinct volcano) ..on max zoom and some 30+ miles away
Nice pootle 21.5miles with 3,500ft+ ascent
Edit: Just thought I'd add this link which has just appeared in our local Evening Chronicle ..

The Northumberland lake people think abandoned villages lie beneath
Kielder Water in Northumberland is the largest man-made lake in northern Europe and the reservoir has long been the subject of local folklore

weather dependent
Is that the brand new trail that there building or revamping an old current one
A mate sent a video from the summit of Ben Nevis yesterday and it was glorious sunshine.
But he had to wait 3 days for the rain to stop

It's as good as brand new ..they've re-profiled the first part of the 3 dog descent ( as pictured) ..but are digging new dirt all the way down to the road exiting just along from 3dog climb ..its not finished ( still closed off)..but should only be a few weeks if that . I think the idea is to link it into the old orange graded NDH downhill course from the top of Deadwater eventually ..but that is still closed & in disrepair and a lot of work is needed before that becomes a reality ..

Ah ok. Only did 3 dog descent a couple times makes sense to make it longer with the clinb next to the exit
Linking it to the orange is no joke that trail is brutal in parts

First I was looking out for a seal or sea lion but then I found her, by max magnification! Just wondering how comes Binhill noticed her? Dating?
Too young for me . I passed her and towelled her down , then I woke up.
