Great Whernside Fell Race – Sat 21 Sep

From Geoff Howard…

4 miles, 1,558ft

Saturday was a great day to emulate the Grand Old Duke of York, albeit with a breeze in the face on the way up, as did five Harriers. Two miles of mainly very steep ascent; runnable before Hag Dyke but mixed stone and bog thereafter followed by what felt like a precipitous descent. As usual, just pleased to end up with bones still in the right places.

Sam Bentham 1st in 33m , Oscar Shinn 8th in 36m 53, Iain Gibbons 19th (1st v50) in 42m 20s, George Whittleston 47th in 51m 8s and Geoff Howard 56th in 52m 55s (1st v70 & v80). 80 ran
