Holme Moss

It was the 2nd of the long English Fell Championship counters on Sunday 18 July. 4 of our hardy ladies (& 1 man) traveled to Holmfirth to toe the start line of the 17mile/4000' course on a wet and windy day. But it was well worth it (easy for me to say as I couldn't be there to brave the storms with them)!!

Julie Carter was 1st Keswick runner home and a superb effort ensured 2nd place in her category behind Aly Raw (Bingley). Julie was followed by Cat Evans (18th), Holly Williamson (19th) and Kim Clark (9th FV50). A fantastic effort by all involved secured us 3rd team placing behind Todmorden and Dark Peak. Overall we currently hold 2nd place in the English Open Team Championship with only one race left (Shelf Moor 05 Sept 2010 5.9m/1500').

A huge well done girls (and to Chris Clark the solitary Keswick AC male)!

The race was won by Karl Gray MV40 (Calder Valley) in 2.24.18 and the ladies race was won by Lauren Jeska (Todmorden Harriers) in 2.49.31

Well done to the ladies. A shame indeed that we haven't fielded a men's team -I think we can get a very good team together for Shelf Moor on Sept 4th.

Perhaps one or two of the men were staying away to taper off for a really fast blast at the Newlands Round club road-championshiop counter tonight :) Perhaps also some had good points allready in the bag for 10th place from the other long counter in the English championship at Ennerdale Horseshoe ;)
