Lord's Seat, 5m/1400' -Wednesday 28th April


A pleasant, warm evening for the Lord's Seat race yesterday. Dry underfoot conditions on the fell between Barf and Lord's Seat made for good running and Pippa Maddams (Keswick AC) seized the opportunity to set her second course record in 7 days. Running 36:55, she lowered the mark for the new route (first run in 2008) by some 6 minutes to take the ladies race and combined trophy for the highest placed female at last week's Grisedale Grind and the Lords Seat race.


Russell Maddams (Keswick AC) knotched up a good win in 34:03 ahead of Andrew Schofield (Borrowdale FR) and Steve Birkenshaw (Borrrowdale FR).


Russ, along with Craig Smith and Rob Wynne took the men's team prize, while Deb Edgington and Helen Horne completed the winning ladies team also from Keswick AC.


Thanks as allways should go to Angela and Tony Brand Barker for organising these great races up at Whinlatter. For full results visit the club website at www.keswick-ac.org.uk. A few more (poor quality) photos here.

Brilliant special effects, Steve. You manage to make even the slowest of us plodders look like were absolutely hurtling along - even uphill! :)
