Congratulations to Lucy Wiegand and Denise Mathers (NI), who successfully completed the BG in the early hours of this morning, touching the Moot Hall hand-in-hand in 23 hours and 46 minutes. Well done also to Ruth Batty who battled the elements and finished
in a little over 25 hours – another fine run in tough conditions from
start to finish.
The weather throughout was at least as bad as last year’s club attempt, making these successes all the more sweet. Another great day on the hill, with the DP and Penistone support for the five contenders typically robust.
We may have an early bid for the Pertex from two of the clubs international orienteers too, albeit they were by no means the only ones to become disoriented in the clag across from Bowfell …
