Summer Series (12) .
Ben Nevis:- results , Lloyd being 2nd, and 1st Vet.
Grisedale Horseshoe:- Mike was there, but talking today, it wasn’t too dry up on Helvellyn, and all the way round… results
Peris Horseshoe:- “Great day out at Peris Horseshoe but eventful. Weather was horrific, torrential rain all day, very slippery, and strong winds on the tops. Greg took a tumble on Elidir Fawr, a painful ‘flesh wound’, and made it to Pen-y-Pass where the injury forced him to retire. The race was ‘shortened’ due to conditions. In fact it was still 17.5 miles, but we just went up the Miner’s Track instead of over Lliwedd to Snowdon. I’d not done anything long for a while and ‘bonked’ quite badly towards top of Miners Track, and in the end was just glad to get all the way round. It’s a great proper mountain race though, really looking forward to doing it in the dry one day!
Derwentwater Trail:-
Longshaw Sheep Dog Trials:-
Exterminator:- results.
Shelf Moor:-
Bradley:- near Skipton. A much better race than I’d expected. Health and Safety don’t apply to BOFRA races. This was a manic start, rather like the mad dash at Hope, with a narrow bridge at the end of the park. Fastest was to leap the concrete ditch and stream, far too insane for Carshare.
Ilkley Incline . simply blast off up the hill for a mile – knackering! Even the sheep were sheltering at the start, but we were up and walk back down in a lull…
Langdale Horseshoe – the return of Carshare to the Lakeland fells…
Strines Road Closure:- “from Monday the 5th Sept. until the 16th there will be no access to the Snake from the Southern end of Strines road due to road works. Just North of the A57 at Moscar Lodge. This may effect travel to some club runs and races so allow extra time to go via Dungworth or Loxley/Rivelin valleys. It will certainly effect runners from Bradfield/Stocksbridge and the North”
Milford Chevin:-
