High Cup Nick:– Up by Dufton. Not easy conditions at all. Snow blowing head-on plodding up the valley to High Cup Nick, where the top rocks were nastily icy. Lying ice and snow needed caution where usually we’re legging it back down. Stuart was 2nd, behind Ricky Lightfoot : Tony Heron 25th, running strong despite fretting about York being in the lands of flat : Carshare made up the team, but far distant to worry the team prize-giving. It’s a right well organised race, highly recommended, soup and rolls on tap afterwards, and immediate results available – by the tried and tested sticky labels.
Ilkley Moor. Results. Sorry to miss our runners, I got cold up on’t moor….
New Chew – for our regulars….results.
More news from distant lands:-Rhys “did another race on Saturday – Avalanche Peak. I’m in decent shape for hill
running as confirmed by being first to the top of a 1100m ascent but struggled on
the river bed running – when NZ do rough, they do rough! So 4th place it was. A
tough race for anyone out in NZ in February in the next few years, but a good
day out. Did get some support on the hill in my brown vest from Hilary Bloor’s
sister, plus ex-Dark Peaker Alastair Cory-Wright was first vet. ” 2hrs 41mins….
Race report. – DT – well worth a look and a read… with it saying “who stormed up the 1100 meter scramble of Avalanche Peak to claim the “King of the Mountain” title in 50mins”

Edale Skyline. We seem to be getting little help with the Championship campaign from the organiser, as he seems to have accepted entries from Borrowdale, of all things.
But more seriously, it’s not just the team scorers who matter, it’s the runners who can push back the other clubs. Those four points from last year…….Edale must surely be the race to make a real mark for the Championship….
