Event Report
32 brave souls struggled with the elements on Sunday to find controls positioned around the slopes of Blencathra, High Pike and Great Dodd. For once the weather forecast was spot on, and it hoofed it down and blew a gale for the entire duration of the race. However everyone stayed out for the 3 hours, and some (Mick Connor) spent an extra 20 minutes out and lost 100 points!. Local heroes Ben Bardlsey and Chris Hope won with 415, and Vet Andy Conn was lead Vet and second overall. Third and fourth and fifth were were Duncan Stuart, Bernard Moore and Tony Brand-Barker, but significantly the ladies of a certain age are nipping at the old boys heels. Angela Brand Barker and Anne Plant in the Vet and SuperVet ladies cats, both put in sterling efforts. Now who wears the trousers eh! Thanks everyone for coming. And thanks to Phillipa Lilles and Steve Ormerod for collecting in controls. Joolz
