To weekend of 22nd / 23rd July

Congratulations to Stuart Reid who completed his BG last weekend in 23:28.

At the half way point of the four race British Championship series Finlay Grant is 2^nd MSEN and 1^st M23. Dark Peak are 3^rd MSEN team, a couple of points ahead of Ambleside and Helm Hill and 4^th in the M40’s behind Carnethy. However, Carnethy currently have no runners entered in the Welsh counter and so are likely to fall by the wayside. The Welsh counter Measgwm Detour is in Llanberis on 5^th August and the championship concludes with Sedbergh Hills on 20^th August. Entries are open for both. Individual Standings here and Team Standings here.

Saturday 15^th July – Buttermere Sailbeck.
