Mark Seddon and Mark Hartell - Elite course overnight leaders by 7 minutes

Elite, A, B, C, D course overnight leaders start day 2 at 7:00

Phil Janaway and Colin Banks third overnight on the A course mark up their map

The only way is up!

Getting in order for the chasing start

The main field decamps

The hills were shrouded with cloud at 7am when the chasing starts began - view from the route that most teams took

John Noblett from the A team that was leading overnight, visits the first control. He and Andy Lewsley held their position to finish in first place

The close placing of first controls on the A, B, C and D courses tested teams navigation. The B team that were second overnight pause to check

Running downhill from the shoulder of Beinn a' Ghlo with Loch Loch in the background. No, that's not a typo - it's really called that!

Steep approach to the first control on the C course

David Fussell, a B course competitor, joins the crowd climbing above Glen Loch

C course teams approach their second control - a hilltop

Most teams (Elite, A, B, C and Novice) visited control 154, a cairn with a cave-like shelter below it. Many paused here for refreshment

A team reach the cairn, control 154, after a stiff climb

Nearing the finish - a glance down to the Dalmulzie Hotel and Gleann Taitneach, site of the Day 1 starts

Most of Day 2 was over rolling grassy hills

Civilisation in sight! Checking the route to the penultimate control

Teams joined a welcome grassy path for the final descent from the hills. They were surprised to find arrows waymarking the route, which is part of the Cateran Trail - a six-day circular long distance path that starts in Blairgowrie

The final control and the event centre is in sight - just a 1.2km run in to the finish to go

Some competitors travel to the LAMM in style. Stop Press - Adrian Moir has now found the keys to his helicopter

Several competitors found the energy to bring back trophies from the hills

As usual with the LAMM, the sun came out at the finish, encouraging competitors to sit outside with their Wilf's meal, watching the later teams come in
