Calling all ladies… DUNNERDALE…those little, tricky hills beckon you…

Thank you and well done to all this year.

I think we’ve done brilliantly, lots of individual top efforts (Britta’s BG,  Cath doing Fairfield and Windermere marathon in a weekend-to name a few), and as a team, managing to get teams out for both the Ian Hodgson relay (we were 5^th!) and the FRA relays (they have us down as 16^th I think, but this can’t be right as Todmorden didn’t finish, so not sure, there were 31 ladies teams though!).

It’s been great to see our numbers growing too, a big welcome to all new members.

Let’s go for it at Dunnerdale and get as many ladies out as possible, it’s a great little race for those who haven’t done it. Saturday 3^rd November, 12 noon at the Blacksmiths Arms, Broughton Mills. Entries on the day. 5 miles, 1800 feet of ascent. If you fancy a curry in Kendal in the evening, 7-7.30pm at Mumbai then please let me know.

It would be great to know people’s ideas for next year, I know it’s a way off but it’s good to have something to focus on/look forward to over these winter months. I really think we could do well as a team if folk are keen.

Possible ideas:

• The English Champs – (see FRA website for further details, next years races would be; Black Coombe, 3 peaks, Blackstone Edge, Kentmere, Borrowdale, Dufton)

• The British champs (we would have to be prepared to travel!)

• The Lakeland Classics (see FRA website)

• The AAC championship races (as individuals, but would mean lots of us out/at local races)

• Some road/ trail races over the winter, any ideas/dates/events?

• Something else e.g. a race abroad, bagsie not organising it though!

Thanks for being such a great bunch!

Please let me know your thoughts…
