Margery Hill on Sat 31st Jan 1998

20 startersThe early morning mist hung over Derwent Edge and it promised to be murkier than it turned out. As it was, the compass stayed in the bumbag, not that there wasn\'t plenty of route choice once the course broke into new ground at Cranberry Clough. Descending into the new checkpoint, it was a grand sight to see about ten runners strewn across the hillside making for Long Edge. ]be early leaders however were well clear and it was Tony Keddie, Alan Yates and Paul Sanderson, who brought home the field of 20 starters.


Opinion was very favourable towards the change of course, from comments received afterwards. The choice from checkpoints 4 to 5, and on to Hancock Wood will provide discussion for many years before a recommended route emerges. The new youth policy is stuttering, and it was left to Bob and Paul to stop the old men taking all the front places. Incidentally, most people were within 2- 3 minutes of last year\'s \"original route\" time, except Hugh and John Myers who were significantly faster. More than likely the new route will remain, the only debate is the route back from Cogman\'s cabin.
