Great Longstone \u2013 anyone got a link for any results? \u201cThere was a sizeable club turn-out for one of the last evening races of the year. The field was affected to a degree by those saving themselves for the racing over the weekend ahead; Or in some cases  those taking the opportunity to squeeze in another Peak race whilst in the area, as well as a limber up for those same races. Travellers Lloyd Taggart and Jackie Lee took the line honours. Lloyd by some significant distance. A mile from the finish he was about a mile clear of the next racer. Apparently all of the next six or so runners had gone walkabout at the top of the first climb – trying to close the initial gap to Lloyd with a direct line through brambles and other assorted goodies of the white peak flora. The local cows put on a valiant re-enactment of the Battle for Sheldon Field. The prizes were awarded by Lord Hattersley.\u201d<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Gouffre Berger. With the Peak being also a potholing area, this may be of interest, and a privilege to mention Alan Brentnall\u2019s trip.<\/font> Lots of photos.<\/a> like this.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cLots of hard work, but we eventually set up Camp 1 at -500m and rigged to the bottom of the cave. 18 expedition members got to the bottom plus about half a dozen who only intended travelling to Camp 1 (once rigged, it took around 20hrs for a bottoming trip, 8 hours for a camp 1 trip) plus we supported a photographic team who were using our rigging to get illustrations for a new guide book.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two Inns Race:- Tony Heron sends this:- \u201c<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/span>Managed to squeeze this in while holidaying in NW Scotland with Jon Ascroft (former Dark Peaker, now running for Carnethy) and family. The Two Inns Race is a new addition to the Scottish calendar, taking a fairly direct line from Creagan on the west coast (about 15 miles north of Oban), to the Clachaig Inn in Glencoe, involving 24 km (15 miles) of running and 1700m of ascent. The first half was reminiscent of a Dark Peak race over wild, boggy and pathless terrain among fantastic scenery, climbing progressively bigger hills and culminating in a steep ascent of Fraochaidh (879m); after a short, technical descent the route then offered superb ridge running to the impressive peak of Sgorr a\u2019 Choise (663m), followed by a long, punishing descent through steep bracken all the way to the valley. At this point, the organizers had decided to bypass the busy A82 for the last mile of the race by contriving a route through virtually unrunnable marshland adjacent to the road – a worse finish to a long fell race cannot be imagined!  No matter, the misery of the last mile was soon forgotten with beer and sandwiches in the Clachaig, a generous prize list and a few hundred quid raised for the Oban and Glen Coe Mountain Rescue Teams. The race was won by Manny Gorman of Westies in 3.04.44, with Jon 3rd in 3.14.53, Adam Perry (now running for Pennine) 5th in 3.18.32 and me 8th in 3.22.11. 37 runners completed the race.

A cracking little cat A, 3mile 800ft route held in the Mendip Hills. Torrential rain before and after the race, but dry in between. Cakes and beer at the pub afterwards.\u201d<\/p>\n

BOFRA <\/a>– Hebden (Grassington)<\/span> . We managed a team here, Matt, Mark Salkild and Carshare, ably spectated by Ashley, watching his wife running. A typically BOFRA race, run hard out of the field, over the stream, wobble up the hill, along the top and over two huge walls, then shift back down again\u2026video<\/a><\/p>\n
