rewarded with a record turnout on a fairly inclement evening. Alan\'s excellent winning time was identical to the second to his time last year. Runners in road shoes gave the farmer at Twitchill Farm an interesting diversion from BSE as they descended his wet grassy slopes. The format was the same as last year with half going to winn hill and half to lose hill from the start enabling the better runners to offer words of encouragement like: \"Try harder\', \"Lengthen your stride\", or “Did you go up Lose Hill twice?\" etc.
This race opened up the \"James Fulton & Son 66 years in electrical contracting fell race series\" which culminates in the Warts Revenge in November.
Prize list: a 13amp sponsors plug or light bulb to everyone. Long life lamp to 22nd as that was the date and jolly interesting video tape to 20th as that is how long Dark Peak have been on the bog.
Thanks to Dave Lockwood for computerised results and to Peter Eustace, landlord at the Cheshire Cheese for reserving us a room and providing some food on the house to everyone.
