Three Shires – results. “ A spectacular Three Shires. Saturated underfoot and torrential rain at the start but only the occasional bit of clag clinging to the hillside. Those of us at the value for money end of the field even had time to snatch a stunning view or two of Lakeland peaks poking out from their individual folds of cloud” – Lewis.

World Masters this year is in Paluzza, Northern Italy. Next year is in the Black Forest, which could well appeal to Carshare, in May.
Craig Roberts – 1st M45 : Peter Covey – 2nd M70 : in M60, Ben Grant is 4th, Jackie Winn – 5th. Results.
Rombald’s Romp. – a 7 mile wander around Ilkley Moor. Wet showers and windy, sodden underfoot. Races around here are rather contrived, but still good running. Some most commendable ideas. A bottle of beer to every finisher : free sponge cake to everyone going to the prize-giving, so loads of people afterwards in the pub : also 2 races at the same time – the fell race and the trail race, with the same start and same finish.

Langsett in The Guardian – well worth reading…
FRA Relays. Entries close on Sunday, 18th September, and maybe then we’ll find out about extra teams. 180 teams to be accepted. So far there are 159 teams, and 30 on the waiting list, on which we are a lowly 17th and 18th place. Hopefully for the V50’s, there may be preference to getting a V50 Team competition? The host club, Bingley, have a V50 Men’s Team lined up, so that is a reason for optimism….
Extra Championship Medals. For the British Championships, we take whatever is on offer, as the FRA isn’t in charge of it all. I’ll sort out English medals soonish, once names become available, to avoid our usual last minute routine…
