JOHN EDWARDS – A short remembrance
It was with great sadness that I heard of John’s death in March. He was a distinguished “character” in the Dark Peak Fell Runners as evident by the soubriquets he was given, Gentleman John, Squire Read more

Tim and Jon pulled away from me on the way to the trig but Andy seemed well clear. However, on the return, Tim pulled out all the stops and with a great descent overhauled Andy to take the race. Andy held off Jon but could obviously do with talking another Andy, a Mr Styan, about how to throw your body down a hill.
Further back a good battle was had with downhill racers Berzins and Davison doing battle but just being held off by Roger. Roger, Rob, Dave Markham and Hugh Cotton had all done the Bob Graham just 10 days before. Kirsty ran a spirited race to keep the ladies flag flying but also suffered from a cautious descent after a fast run to the trig.
Fortunately the race was held just 2 days before the Peak Park/National Trust ban on access came into force. A good turnout for what is possibly the classic fell race on the club\'s local circuit.

30 startersWhat a superb race this was. Talk was of handy Poirette being in great form and maybe ready to go under 30 minutes and test Malcolm\'s long standing record. Andy shot up the hill in the sort of pace needed for the record and by the Knoll had a very substantial lead on the chasing group of Tim, Jonathan and myself.Tim and Jon pulled away from me on the way to the trig but Andy seemed well clear.
