Ian Hodgson Relay. results.
Senior Men:- 2nd. 4 minutes behind Borrowdale. Rob Little and Pete Hodges had fastest Leg on Leg 1. All was close at Kirkstone Inn, but Borrowdale had fastest legs on 3 and 4.
MV40:- 1st. Worryingly close to Bowland for those anxiously watching, but we need not have fretted.
Ladies:- 3rd : A very strong Ambleside team were far clear, and then Keswick.
Most testing conditions, the clag was right down, rocks were wet and slippy, and wet and cold up high.
Carshare wonders how one team is reputed to have visited Ambleside, trying to find Red Screes…
As ever, huge thanks to everyone representing, and to team captains for organising, and of course to the event organisers.
As to what happened within each team, that’s best left for others to divulge.
Saddleworth Edges:- results. One of the most scenic of Peak races – up onto Alphin, then around to Chew Reservoir, around to the top of Dovestones, and pleasantly back through the woods and fields. An early stile and some narrow paths would hinder any slow starters, but a good trip round the edges. Back to conditions of having the shoes laced up tight, the peat returning to typical bogginess.
