Mens trial \'ideal\' route was 22.6 km with 2700 meters of ascent. The Womens Trial was 17.5 km with a height gain of 1710m visiting checkpoints 2,3,4,6 and 7 used in the Mens Trial. The Short course was 14.2km with a height gain of 1450m.
Jim Davies of Borrowdale won the mens race in 4hrs 12mins, Dark Peak runners put in some great performances with John Hunt in 4th and 7 of us inside the top 35. We were also 2nd team narrowly losing out to Borrowdale.
The womens race was won by Karen Nash of Preston Harriers in 4hrs 3 min. Kirsty finished 4th ably supported by Nicky, Julia and Jo. Ambleside won the womens team prize.
Ben Stevens of Ilkley Harriers won the Short race. A good showing from Dark Peak with 9 finishers.
Well done to all.
Richard Askwith, author of \'Feet in the Clouds\', presented the prizes (after completing the short race) and the tradition of a free pint for competitors was revived this year courtesy of Jennings Brewery.
I\'ve put the results and prize winners on to the Trial website. I\'m hopeful that in the next week the winners routes will also be available.
Finally, entries were up 40% this year and we reached our limit a week before the closing date. If are thinking of competing next year (and you really should do - this is a race ALL fell runners should attempt, including our chairman although tight fitting leopard skin lycra is banned!!) then make sure you get your entry in early. Entries open June next year............
