Eyam & Abney TT on Sun 11th Apr 2021
23 starters, Dark Peak Races LeagueRupert Allison and Emily Barnett were clear winners of this, the first Dark Peak Races League race of 2021. The course records of Neil Northrop (1:23:45) and Judith Jepson (1:50:23), that were both set in the 2017 Club Champs, still stand. As is often the case with these TT races, conditions changed during the week with 3" of snow for some and perfect going for others.

| Position | Name | Club | Class | Time | Comment | Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Neil Northrop | Dark Peak | MSEN | 01:30:44 | Not expecting the 3 inches of snow! | |
| 3 | Mike Nolan | Dark Peak | M50 | 01:34:25 | A poor man who can't win his own race. | |
| 4 | Tim Rutter | Dark Peak | M40 | 01:34:50 | Hit the deck twice in rapid succession, need to stop running in clown shoes. | |
| 5 | Stu Reid | Dark Peak | M40 | 01:56:41 | Special prize for 10cm snow on the tops? Amazing contrast from last years run on a hot sunny day! | |
| 6 | Mike Annett | Dark Peak | M55 | 01:57:58 | ||
| 7 | Eliot Waterhouse | Dark Peak | MSEN | 02:02:39 | Lovely route, but I can tell I haven't been running much over winter. Loved the path beside Bretton Brook all the way down - tough going to duck under all the branches. | |
| 8 | Jim Paxman | Dark Peak | M60 | 02:03:33 | A couple of better lines than last year brought my time down by over 5 minutes. | |
| 9 | Nick Kirk | Dark Peak | M50 | 02:06:06 | Local knowledge is an advantage, particularly in Bretton Clough. Unfortunately not fit enough at the moment and sat down for food and drink in Bretton Clough before I fell down! | |
| 10 | Tim Mackey | Dark Peak | M65 | 02:08:58 | The climb back up to the trig in the teeth of a force 8 can be classed as cruel and unusual punishment | |
| 11 | Mark Bush | Dark Peak | M45 | 02:13:01 | ||
| 12 | Mick Cochrane | Dark Peak | M70 | 02:15:21 | ||
| 13 | Dave Arundale | Dark Peak | M65 | 02:18:35 | Good line off the stone circle (but would not necessarily work in the summer) and definitely benefitted from the lower end of Bretton Clough recce resulting in a much better time than the 2017 champs of 2:34:31 | |
| 15 | Martyn Jones | Dark Peak | M45 | 02:19:41 | Messed up cp 1, came off path too early and thrashed around for about 5 mins. Eventually found it and got a good line off down to above mill wood. | |
| 16 | Ken Jones | Dark Peak | M70 | 02:21:02 | I was going well until I pulled a hamstring in Bretton Clough and struggled back on the long uphill. Doesn’t bode well for my intended outing this week on the Killer. | |
| 17 | Drew Chester | Dark Peak | M50 | 02:21:12 | A few iOrienteering hiccups. | |
| 18 | Guy Ward | Dark Peak | MSEN | 02:23:54 | First TT with the club, great to finally meet and trundle round with some of you! | |
| 19 | Michael Arundale | Dark Peak | M65 | 02:31:03 | Much better than last summer - no bracken down from the stone circle, and an improved route down Bretton Clough. Bit windy up to the mast. | |
| 20 | Bob Bryan | Dark Peak | M65 | 02:41:10 |
