Langdale:- Results. Nastily wet, slippy and generally miserable, but it could have been worse. Clear getting to Esk Hause, and not too thick clag around Bowfell and the Crinkles. Lots of Dark Peak runners indeed. The sticky labels had no times, so results can wait for the Ambleside website. Oli was 2nd, and 2nd Men’s team. Several folk walking out for prizes. And most likely more completions of the Lakeland Classics.
Loads and loads of prizes and categories, a class, well organised race.
West Yorkshire Cross Country – “A number of athletes did not wear club colours. In future meetings any athlete not wearing club colours will be disqualified.”
Seems we’d best stick to fell running, then….
Bill Smith. will be greatly missed, a sad event indeed. report.
Good Shepherd – results. Jim Bell there, 15th, in 2.00.29
Windgather – results. “A good Dark Peak presence at the sharp end, with Pete Hodges 2nd, Mick Stenton 5th (behind Olivia Walwyn Bush) and Steve Bell 9th all in the first 10, collecting team prize for the Brown vests. Conditions generally ok apart from a stiff cross wind and some clag along the flags to Windgather. The rain didn’t really kick in until about 2 hour mark, which the first few of us were lucky enough to benefit from. Series results saw some more accolades for Dark Peak, with Stuart Bond and Helen Elmore first man and woman overall respectively. Mick Stenton was 2nd overall, (which indirectly led to your correspondent sneaking the V50’s voucher). Tom Saville was 3rd (I think), but not allowed to run Windgather being too young for permit. Steve Bell was 4th I think or may have taken a V40 prize. All told it was another DPFR clean sweep. “ – from Martin Stocks.
Series Results.
Chelmorton Chase – anyone sitting quietly on our results, please?
