Sedbergh – results. Jon Morgan helps out:- “set off chasing Phil Sanderson (Northumberland FR) who has beaten me a few times this year. Luckily neither his descending nor his navigation matched his ability to run up almost any slope. He would get a lead on every climb then I would go past on every descent. He blew it going too high between checkpoint 3 and 4 and I didn’t see him again.

Elidir Fawr – And Nick Kirk was in Wales:- “"Great weather in Snowdonia for the Elidir Fawr race. Only 3 Dark Peakers in attendance, Lloyd mentioned that I was the third team member, no pressure on me to perform and not let the team down! Lloyd won by a clear margin followed by Es in fifth. This was first my proper mountain race of the year following an injury earlier in the year and I was pleased with my performance.

My kids took part in the junior race, with William winning a prize for the U8 and Iona winning the 12yrs category. Full results at here. “

Help Needed Please! - Richard Wheeler has been in touch, “I’m really interested in joining the Dark Peak club. The only problem is that I don’t have a car, so the only training runs I can feasibly get to are the ones leaving from the Sportsman. I work at Sheffield University. Do you know if there is anyone who lives/works nearby or generally travels past the university who would be willing to car share? My mobile number is 07920772164 or e-mail “
