Congratulations to John
Fleetwood as he gained another club trophy in his first
year of club membership. And this follows hot on the
heels of his latest epic long distance challenge: a
winter Paddy Buckley rounds (Welsh equivalent of the Bob
Graham) completed just three days beforehand.
Cath was a fine second and
fastest lady up the tough 3 mile course. Fastest was
Paul Knowles who managed to make it unscathed to the top
despite forgetting his torch. Added interest was
provided in the form of two challengers on mountain
bikes. No doubt they would have the edge on the descent
but unfortunately for them it is an uphill only race and
when going up, two legs, it seems, are superior to two
wheels.
Thanks to Phil Craker for
organising the race and to his timing assistant Ken
Dacre. The post-run sandwiches were soon polished off at
the Golden Rule whilst John was presented with his
trophy cup.
Weather: mild, dry,
southerly (following) wind.
Paul
