Exterminator :- The results service from Mark has been excellent throughout the year, many thanks, DPFR results are out , and let’s not take for granted all the hard work involved in maintaining this well supported series. Many strong indications of Relay Potential…
   DT – Peris Horseshoe isn’t that easy, but doing that and the Exterminator next day is going some…(Dave Sykes)
       And when will Jon Morgan line up with the rest of us, Dentdale, Exterminator – and was it Leg 4 change at Patterdale also?

Longshaw 
Trunce (9)results

Helvellyn Triathlon:- Rob Davison an excellent 60th overall, 21st in his category. Looks as though he pulled up a lot of places on the run. Anyone else there?

Peris Horseshoe:- results. Martin has kindly copied down some results from the sticky labels, There may be others, full results in about a week, and also photos to follow .  “Weather was kind to us, with improving visibility as the day wore on (apart from on Snowdon).”
Some photos on this website already” – and also here.
DSCF0375 No prizes for recognising this – more will be on DP photos.

Great Yorkshire Run:- anyone running round Sheffield’s roads? results – far too complicated for me to sift through…

Bullock Smithy – some results are here , not easy to interpret as yet. Nicky looks to be round in 11hrs 31., which appears extremely well up…” I had a really good run and was 4th overall until the last 2 miles when I got lost in a housing estate and was overtaken by a group of 7 (including 2 women) who all finished in 11.27 while I finished in 11.31. So think that made me 11th! “

Shelf Moor. – with some searching, results can be found here. , loads of picture too including one of the winning team in the river cooling down!.  Ian sends” A great race with an excellent descent in perfect weather. well marshalled and loads of prizes including Rescue Ale for the first 30ish. More beer for the team prize, I’ve got Tony Heron’s”
DT – Championship next year with Coniston, Holme Moss, Ennerdale ? (only hearsay…)

Ben Nevis – resultsseems to have been right horrible? Indeed it was, as Nick Kirk sends:- ““At the start the organisers announced that the wind was 40mph with gusts up to 60mph, a chill factor on top of -1C and visibility less than 10m. Being a ‘newcomer’ to the race this was very daunting, especially as the cloud base level was only few hundred metres, at least we did not see how far it was to the top. The weather was foul with heavy rain throughout the whole of the race with very strong winds around Red Burn and along the plateaux. However, the race was very well organised with excellent mountain rescue cover. It was very wet and slippery underfoot which made for a very interesting descent especially the steep scree and then grassy bank into red Burn. Jon Coe had an excellent run followed by the rest of the DP travelling contingent. I will definitely enter this race again and would recommend it, Nick Kirk”
DT – Rob Jebb home first, with John Coe, Russell Beresford and Tim Mackey up there…
   Comments:- Have a look, 10th Team , and that makes 21 Ben’s for Nev Boler….

Grisedale Horseshoe . “This race is traditionally run in thick mist, driving rain and gale force winds and this year didn’t disappoint.  Only a small Dark Peak turn-out, there’s usually more of us.”
Mike Robinson -   2nd  :Ryan Edwards – 13th : Janet McIver  -  32nd ( 2nd lady )
DT – a small turn-out, but so many good races this weekend, and the local Exterminator…

Blackshaw Head:- A good little race, 5.5ml, BS. It started in that first field of Calderdale Leg 4, then plenty of wet, rough moorland to the north, with a horrible uphill, wet, into the wind finish through the fields where Leg 4 sets off.

Great Longstone Results

Kilnsey Show. – this video is superb. Not often we see the front runner , running where we are walking. And the descent gully is as nasty as it looks – no exaggerations anywhere in this.

Arnison Crag. 29th August . “A great race, all part of the Patterdale Dog Show.  Slightly longer course than usual due to excessively high bracken.”   1st     Chris Waters        Ambleside         23.56
2nd    Mike Robinson                             24.42

Alpe d’Huez:- We’ve all watched it, a select few have biked up it, but has anyone previously run it?
Lynn is “Just back from cycling in the Alps.  Some of Norton wheelers joined me and Darrell for the last 2 weeks and we all took part in the Alpe d’Huez time trial.  While the rest of us did it on bikes Russ Beresford ran it!
“Has anyone else done the Alpe d’Huez time trial or is Russ Beresford’s time of 1hr 14mins a DP record?”
Russell France 2009 068

Mike’s 40th birthday weekend.
Hazel sends:” We’re not planning anything big but are hoping that people might be able to stay up in Langdale after Three Shires Race and join us in the Old Dungeon Ghyll for a drink.  Camping is obviously available at the Great Langdale campsite and on Sunday people have the perfect opportunity to recee all or some of the Langdale route. Mike knows about this but what he doesn’t know is that I’m trying to get him a very large collection of beer so if you speak to anybody please ask them to bring a bottle of beer, preferably less than 4.5%.”

Langdale:- “ Does Anyone have a entry they will not be using? email
DT – Can anyone help over whether substitutions are viable? I’m thinking there may be a priority waiting list? I’ll sort out a decent map and Route Notes…
“substitutions are highly unlikely, any non-runners should inform the organiser to then use the waiting list…”

Mountain Trial – “ LDMT is in Eskdale this year and based at Eskdale YH, is there a plan for meeting up on a campsite or car sharing ?”
So if anyone can contribute, please get the Comments going, or email to Ian Winterburn.
