Ashurst Beacon. Was our man there, Carshare wonders? Results<\/a>. Indeed he was:- “<\/span><\/span> Made it out in to the porridge with
\nmy fell shoes on. The two comedy running fields were even more Charlie Chaplin
\nthat usual. A DPFR managed 3rd<\/sup> again this year, but that\u2019ll only
\ngive you 2nd<\/sup> V40 but 1st<\/sup> V45.  A good trot out to clear the
\ntubes, and

<\/span>The Trigger. <\/span> Results<\/a>. There are those – i.e Willy – who save on travelling expenses by running to the start:- “Was a lovely night for it in the end – and an even better day for running back.
\nBleaklow quite magical in the sunlight and deep frost, which picked my spirits
\nup immeasurably after a very grim return leg over Black Hill and up Lawrence
\nEdge. Think I was firmly last at Crowden, but picked a dozen or so places up over
\nBleaklow and Kinder. 7hr 30mins out; 5hrs 40mins back again. Glad I did it,
\nbut won’t be repeating it in a hurry!<\/span>“
 And Lewis sends:<\/span>– “A spectator’s eye view of the Trigger: it might be considered that the
\nHandicapper was getting an early season view of form. The weather was as good as
\nyou can hope for; January or otherwise. Bright clear skies, somewhere around
\nzero degrees and the merest hint of a breeze. The ground on Kinder was pretty
\nwell frozen, without being bone-hard all over. Oli Johnson certainly didn’t look
\nlike he’d just run 21 miles when we saw him flying down the final field. The
\nchasing pack was quite spread out behind him. There were some notable individual
\nperformances: Greg Rimmer was characteristically modest about his good run. Rob
\nCole put in another standout performance. Clare Oliffe appears to have been
\ninspired by last year’s women’s team performance and put in another great run.
\nIn the middle of the long crossing she was looking like she still had some good
\nrunning left in her. Willy Kitchen on the other hand, looked a little more spent
\nwhen we met him half way up the last major climb (Upper Red Brook). But he did
\nhave a fairly good (if rash) excuse. He and two others felt the best way to
\nresolve logistical issues of a 22 mile point to point race was to run from the
\nfinish in Edale through the night to reach the start in good time for
\nregistration and then run the race back to Edale. So he’d done something over 30
\nmiles by the point we met him. He perked up after a cup of tea and once the
\ngoing turned a bit less vertiginous. He finished comfortably inside his target
\nof six hours for the south bound leg. Dark Peak men’s team claimed the first
\nteam and Dark Peak women’s teams claimed first and second! A sterling effort.

Lamb’s Longer Leg:- results<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Guardian Crossword<\/a>. Crossword devotees will be saddened to hear that Araucaria is reaching the end of the line. But then, publishing crosswords aged 91 is a good record. By far and even further he’s the best compiler, and has been for ages plus.<\/span>

   This don’t look much like fell territory to me.Nothing like a good bit of family gossip…<\/p>\n

“Rumour has it that, while in New Zealand, an erstwhile member of Dark Peak
\nhas taken up flag chasing and managed to be 2nd Brit in the middle distance race
\nrepresenting Great Britain at the Orienteering World Cup. Photographic evidence
\nbears this out. His running vest changed, as did his flat speed, when competing in the sprint
\nrace… but the muttonchops remained.”<\/p>\n
