The Fellsman – results. we expect very good news of Nicky, 3rd and 1st Lady. Here it is…”the weather was kind and conditions good although wetter underfoot than last year. A last minute change to two checkpoints meant navigation was very necessary for all with differing lines being taken across the many groughs. Jez Bragg won in 10.06 (taking 5 minutes off the record), Adam Perry was 2nd in 11.45, I was 3rd in 11.51 (1st Lady) and took 48 minutes off my own record. Other DPFR completions I know of were Ruth Batty, Ruth’s boyfriend (who’s name is escaping me) and Yvonne Beckwith in about 19 hours. Also a worthy mention to my Steve who did 20.27 hrs. Well done to all who got round.”
“Ruth, Yvonne and Carl did 18.18 hrs”
DT – 48 mins faster – that’s going some….
Mearley Clough. English Championship .

Men’s Results
The forecast horrible weather never developed, and though cold, it stayed dry. No point in dawdling on this race, fast and furious. Probably 3rd Seniors, behind Borrowdale and Calder Valley : hopefully 1st V50’s, and very well up in the V40’s. Maybe someone worked that out, with Borrowdale having their usual strength out.
Lloyd – 4th : Stuart – 7th : Mick – 3rd V50, and Judith, our only Lady, well up in the LV40. (Apologies to Dicky – I’ve missed you off the results..)
Next race is Duddon, should be interesting. Carshare is hoping soon to have a trot round the bit between Hard Knott and Three Shires, that’s awkward in the clag, and may? run in the short race.
Natalie and Tim - Crimebusters…have a read of this , in the streets of Keswick…
Fairfield:- results.
Mount Famine:- results
Bollington:- results. Just Liz running, 21st and 1st Lady, 47mins53secs.
Monday – Summer Series (3) – Broomhead Bash
Wednesday – Blackstone Edge. I’d not thought anyone would travel, but Stuart was along, 28mins 36 secs, 3rd, behind Danny Hope.
Latrigg:- Ian Winterburn “was in the lakes on Wednesday so took part in the Keswick Mountain festival’s Latrigg race, a true short sharp fierce fell race climbing straight up Latrigg followed by a whirlwind descent back to the Park. 3 miles 950 ft, Not unlike a Crashout Direct, I was the only official Brown vest there but did have a good chat with Phil Winskill (KAC) who apparently has taken up Road running having won a 10k the night before. Ricky Lightfoot won in one of the fastest times of the recent era in 17.57 followed by Chris Steel 18.09 and Phil Winskill 19.23. Ricky was still just under 2 minutes off Kenny Stuarts record who was on hand to give out the prizes. I managed 16th in 23.03 . “ Results
