Carshare is off to The Cheviots on Saturday, back Sunday.
Can you please help? Pete Hodges asks:- “Is anyone definitely going to Peak Forest fell race (Sunday 14th July) and/or
the Bamford Carnival race (Wednesday 17th July)? I’m away on holiday that week
and need a willing club mate to take the trophies back for me. I can either drop
them off to a Sheffield address or see you at the Sportsman Wednesday 3rd July.
Any help would be much appreciated. peter_hodges@hotmail.com .”
Many congratulations to everyone involved in the most impressive Billy Bland Challenge record!
Lakeland Classics Positions – after two races, but a long, long way to go just yet…
Hawkswick Dash – BOFRA – results.
Buckden Pike.
Ladies Results. Looks to me like 2nd Senior Team, after Ambleside, and 1st LV40 Team.
Men’s Results. And also 1st Senior Men : V40, likely 2nd behind Borrowdale, and V50’s – likely 3rd, behind Borrowdale and Ellenborough.
A very good, well organised race. The weather was dry and clear, much better than down the valley at Otley where the Carnival was ruined by a downpour. Some will remember that when it was last Championship, there was “confusion” about staying on the flags around the lead mine. All this had been effectively sorted out, and also marshals at the two top turns to avoid cutting the corner. Some mad hurtle down that last slippy steep hillside indeed.
Photos – once again Dave and Eileen Woodhead providing some excellent service to the rank and file of fellrunning,
Judith was 3rd overall, and leading Vet, Helen 3rd LV40. Lloyd was 4th, 2nd V40, but also many brown vests and new faces. Big thanks to all for representing.
First Lady was Victoria Wilkinson, and Simon Bailey for the Men.
The Yorksire Team Championships seems to be a notable double!
Next is Wasdale. Are we hoping for 110% clag down? And don’t forget to put the Turner Landscape entry in the post….
Cwm Pennant Horseshoe – 17miles, 5500ft – a right classic in the making??? ….results.
Great Lakes Run – results.
Sutton Pinnacles – is a good event, just past Keighley. Some tired legs around, especially those who had run Cononley after Buckden, and then Hawkswick before this. Not hard, plenty of scenic running.
Summer Series (5). Birchin Surprise.
Calton – results.
Crookstone Crashout.
Blackamoor – results.
Beamsley Beacon – is a popular BOFRA race just past Ilkley, though longer and more runnable than a usual BOFRA affair. Nettle Alley had thankfully been mostly cleared. The pub emptied in some mad crush afterwards when “free chocolate cake outside” was announced.
