Ennerdale Horseshoe, 23m/7500' -Sat 12th June

Fine conditions for this years running of this classic horseshoe -very clear on the tops with a good breeze to keep the worst of the heat away.

The race was a counter in the English Championship this year. A good turn out from Keswick AC with a strong ladies team and some good results from an young and improving mens team.

Men:
1. Rob Jebb (Bingley) -3:34:06
2. Lloyd Taggart (Dark Peak) -3:35:58
3. Ian Holmes (Bingley) -03:41:08

11. Steve Hebblethwaite -3:59:59
42. Jamie Luxmoore -4:22:25
48. Toby Cushion -4:27:50
63. Craig Smith -4:37:32
141. Chris Evans -5:15:01
178. Derek Queenan -5:31:43
225. Rob Wynne -5:48:28
230. Geoff Somers -5:50:12
243. Neil Elsender -5:57:35
260. Andrew Murray -6:28:36

Ladies:
1. Jackie Lee (Eryri) -4:23:43
2. Jane Reedy (Ambleside) -4:33:00
3. Helen Fines (Calder Valley) -4:38:39

10. Holly Williamson -5:09:33
14. Catherine Evans -5:15:00
18. Jo Gillyon -5:29:33

Well done to Jo for stepping in to make up the ladies team at the last minute -my back of the envelope calculations suggest that in an incredibly close competition the ladies team results are:

1= Keswick (10. Holly Williamson, 14. Cat Evans, 18. Jo Gillyon =42)
1= Ambleside (2. J. Reedy 8. H. Robinson and 32. B. Sendlhofer =42)
2. Dark Peak (4. Nicky Spinks, 11. Liz Batt, 28. Julie Gardner =43)

Does anyone know how teams are separated in the event of a tie? The position of the last counter or first counter perhaps?

Well done also to Craig for taking one and a half hours off his previous best of 6:03:55 set in 2006.
