Ian Hodgson Relays. Results. Men – 5th (behind Borrowdale, Wharfedale and then Pudsey) : Vets – 10th, 2nd Vets (behind Ambleside) : Ladies – 4th (after Keswick, Wharfedale and Ilkley).
Leg 1, from Patterdale to Hartsop, was clear, Seniors were 2nd, Vets – 1st. Everything seems hard on Leg 2, the clag came down and many teams wandered, some more than others. Difficult navigation on the last 2 Legs as the rain set in.
More details will come from Team Captains.
We need to be so grateful to everyone involved in staging this excellent event, in difficult arrangements.
– 3 teams disqualified on Leg 1 and two teams on Leg 2. These dibbers have to be dibbed, or else…
From Rob Little’s Comment:-
Men’s open Team at Hodgson’s:
Leg 1: 2nd
leg 2: 34th fastest time on leg
leg 3: 2nd fastest leg time
leg 4: 2nd fastest leg time
5th overall. But as you can see if not but for wandering around off High Street in clag we could well have been 2nd overall. Borrowdale were well out front.
Thanks to all the guys for putting in a great effort. Roll on to Kettlewell now!
DT – so many teams wandered in the mist at various times. The advantage of being nearer and able to know each leg is apparent….
Bob Toogood is “ celebrating his 70th birthday (and 55 years of caving) at Hope Cement works on 15/10/11 – 8pm until late, live music etc.
The Eldon Caving Club lads are asking for this info to be passed on to any of his old chums.
They would also appreciate any old photos …”
Grin and Bear it. Results. A hot trip round. Dry shoes up to Cut Gate, and the Bog Monster was on holiday, nowhere to be seen. It’s a good event, for a good cause. Good that there were no prizes, as Mick Stenton would have needed a barrow to wheel away everything. 1st home, first whatever…
Hope Moors and Tors. results.
