For the benefit of those unaware, this years Keswick AC fell championship is structured such that your best TWO races, from THREE in total, determine the end of season championship table...This was decided at the club AGM.
Therefore with the SECOND race next week, Blencathra (june 4th) anyone who was unable to race at Sailbeck can still qualify for the champs, or indeed win the champs, and vet categories.
The remaining races...Blencathra, june 4th 7pm, 8m/2700'
...Dale Head, sept 21st 2pm 4.5m/2210'
Championship tables will be posted following Blencathra as usual for you to see how many points adrift of your clubmates you stand, or how slender your lead!

Blencathra - Wednesday 4th June
With Blencathra only a couple of weeks away is anyone planning to do a recce?. There are several good route choices plus a couple of easy places to get lost in mist. I am willing to take anyone round but it may be an overnight stay with the way I am at the moment!. As the club championship could well be decided at the race those in contention should make the effort to go round at least once beforehand.
Pete.
