From Jann Smith…

Wasdale Horseshoe Fell Race – English Championships 21 miles / 9000 ft

Widely known as one of the hardest fell races on the calendar this beast takes on most of the highest, roughest boulder strewn terrain in England such as Scafell Pike, Great Gable and Pillar. The weather was drizzly and clagged in on the tops which made the self navigation a touch difficult and there were some serious bogs to contend with. It was a tale of seconds for all the Ilkley Harriers with Ben Rothery coming 2^nd overall in an eyewatering time of 3hrs 48 mins and myself and Kate taking 2^nd in our age categories.

2^nd   Ben Rothery   3hrs 48 mins,

53^rd  Kate Archer   5hrs 37 mins. ( 2^nd F45 )

198^th Jann Smith   6 hrs 32 mins ( 2^nd F55 )
