Export resultCardington Cracker on Sun 2nd Dec 1990
191 startersNo problems about the course, well flagged. There were orienteering style unmanned chackpoints, but no-one took any notice of the punch cards at the end of the race. There aren't many hills in this part of the World, and these erupt from rich agricultural farmland. There was lots of climbing and descent in the first half of the race. A very steep ascent of The Lawley folowed by another even steeper, long and dangerous descent of the other side. A few sore backsides after that. Another steep ascent of Caer Caradoc followed by less arduous terrain, ending with a nice gentle downhill for the last two miles.
According to the results I was the only Dark Peaker there, but this I can understand; compared to the Peak and Pennines it's a bit dull.

Ed. It also clashes with The Trog!
