A rather thin field of 50 turned up for this medium race in the Howgills on Saturday. Bit of a difference from last year when hundreds turned up due to it's English Championship status. I think the organiser will be reverting back to a Wednesday night for future years.
The weather was perfect for the 8 mile / 3000ft loop taking in the summits of Rispa Pike, Uldale Head, Linghaw and then up the notorious final climb to Blease fell before a long "fast" run back to the village of Tebay and the finish.
A handful of us travelled south for this and naturally we all did brilliantly. Unfortunately I am not as organised as Ste Heb when it comes to jotting down results but I can confirm that Q got his highest placing on the fells yet (I think) with 16th, I was 2nd lady after Lou Roberts, Hayley was 1st LV40 and Dave Burton (in his green vest rather than his yellow one) was 1st MV50. Well done to Siobhan, new lady member, who took to the fells for the first time as well. Oh and Alistair Dunn of Helm Hill was overall winner.
