FRA website – it seems this has been hacked into, or something, and is under repair….
Peris Horseshoe – Results. Lots of us there, and right good conditions. Little wind, mainly clear and not too hot. Oli – 4th, Lloyd – 5th were high up, Judith, as ever, very high up. Don’t know about teams, Ladies must be very strong, and the V50’s delivered, behind Carnethy and Borrowdale, but hopefully enough for overall 3d place.
Until the FRA website returns, I can’t sort out overall standings.
As for the Half Peris, I was joined by Richard Hopkinson, who similarly remembered Lliwedd and Snowdon, and was happy to cease at Pen y Pass. There’s much to be said for just doing the Half : I was tired but not drained silly, so had a rest and carried on over Crib Goch and Crib y Disgyl. Couldn’t face the masses on Snowdon mind, so dropped down to the railway and plodded down.
A day later’s weather would have caused major problems, in the wind and the wet.
(A most timely reminder at the start from the Carshare League Organiser that there’s no chance of Half Points.I need to look at Terms and Conditions…)
Great North Run:- results. Keith had a right good run at Peris, but this might have been heavy going as a follow-up.. Any others up there?
Burnsall BOFRA – a glance through the results (none of us there) shows runners doubling up after Peris….
The news of John Blair-Fish comes as some big shock, he was running well at Blisco, in his own strange shuffling style, but so strongly effective. He was a Dark Peak member for many years – indeed still on our current membership list – and on the Peris start list.
Nine Edges Endurance:- results.
Mountain Trial:- all around Borrowdale…race cancelled just as we were due to start, owing to the inclement nature of the weather. A few of us had a run in the wind and rain and there’s no doubt the decision was correct, a real shame for the organisers.
