Export resultSome you Win - Some you Lose on Wed 13th May 1998
35 startersA good turn out in spite of pleasant weather. The route from the railway bridge below Twitchell farm is to Win Hill summit, Yorkshire Bridge, Win Hill summit, railway bridge, Lose Hill summit, railway bridge. The usual format of half going to Yorkshire Bridge first and the other half to Lose Hill lessened the environmental impact and means that everyone sees everyone else (except those that got lost!). In the interests of maintaining the recently amended club constitution, runners were instructed to descend to the right of the wood to Yorkshire Bridge and ascend Parkin Clough to maintain a figure of eight club run.
There were no prizes this year and the organiser explained that instead, in memory of Trevor Snell, the Licensee of the Sportsman who had died earlier that week, a donation would be made to Cancer Research. This was topped up by another runner and a cheque for £30 was forwarded the following day. Thanks for turning up same again next year?

As my performance is likely to be my best of the year, 1 need to encourage you to publish the results in Dark Peak News. 1 have thus done some computations. By the way, Killhill Bridge is the bridge over the Noe that we crossed on the way to the Cheshire Cheese.

Fell race categories are C l00\' per mile, B 125\' per mile, A 250\' per mile. Does this race need a new category AA at 375\' per mile?
A great little race on a warm and humid evening. The dry conditions and steep descents seem to be perfect breeding ground for blisters, particularly under the heel.
