Helen Elmore reports “Dark peak 2nd team at Eskdale mixed relay. It has every chance of becoming a classic Dark Peak away day event. Lovely venue, fabulous pub and camping, and slightly esoteric concept. Very rough running and lots of route choice.
The team consisted of
Liz Batt and Kev Saville
Emily Cowper Coles and Guy Ward
Mike Nolan and Simon Mills
Helen Elmore and Sally Fawcett
Kev and Liz out sprinted Pennine to the line to claim the fastest 1st leg!”
