Snowdonia Marathon – is our representative here once more? Of course! results. John Hunt sends:- “Good weather this year (it’s all relative), certainly compared to the week before in the same place and previous recent years.”
7th place, 2:51:30, and 1st V40, having to hammer it down to the finish, as the next two vets are 9secs and then 7secs back.
Guisborough 3 Tops. results. photos. The final event of the Carshare League, of which Greg is the most worthy winner. Unfortunately our locals, Joe and Dan, were otherwise occupied. Windy, cold and wet at times, and being a Medium race needing decent kit to be carried by everyone. But this was not to be. Greg followed the right people, David Lund got his money’s worth and followed the wrong people. Carshare just plodded slowly round.
Thankfully Customs and Excise missed the car on the return trip, with driver Steve (from Ripon) – 1st V60 – 3 bottles of wine : Greg – 1st V50 – 3 bottles of wine : DT – 1st V65 – 3 bottles of wine: David – a very high placing – 2 bottles of wine. Not sure the locals will want us lot back next year.
Carshare League 2014? I’m hoping that Willy will keep this going, it’s a good incentive to visit new races, places to be running, and meet up with other folk. I’m sure any suggestions for next year would be appreciated, choice of races and all that.
(the Otley Chevin midweek race should be a compulsory counter.)
Buttermere Shepherd’s Meet – results.
Great Whernside:-
OMM – Brecon Beacons – results. Far too complicated for me to sift through…
Passing Clouds.. results.
Club Championships:- “It is wonderful to see the commitment of so many club members determined to turn out for the premier event of the season, despite such appalling ailments and injuries – many of which would see lesser mortals in hospital beds with the Club Chaplain hovering within whispering distance, ‘just in case’. We have 39 entries so far. As seems to be the norm, the sharp end of the field is still lacking entries at this stage. Those determined to beat Willy Kitchen are coming in thick and fast. There is also a good selection of those with value for money as a key expectation. First draft of the Handicaps will be out in early November for the complaints to really start flooding in.”
Eric Mitchell:-For those wondering who this may be, Eric is the Club President. This is from Cycling Weekly. Like other DPFR members of earlier days, having a most strong background of cycling, and also notching up notable fell achievements. Perhaps others can fill in more, I seem to remember a Fellrunnr article not that long back?
