Here are a couple of good facebook updates written by club members over the weekend with feedback of their weekends racing :-

Dom Carr – Three Shires Fell Race.

Three shires fell race yesterday with a big group from Clayton Le Moors Harriers. Managed 95th out of an as yet indeterminate field. At the last count 197 had finished with countless others deciding to DNF due to bad visibility and the Cockley Beck triangle. Jean Brown was 90th, not sure about Ivan Whigham though he was well in front of both of us, just in front of Jon Sharples. At a first attempt I did 2:52 and finished fairly strong. Must have been 15 Clayton there, the atmosphere was great. If it wasn’t for following Mark Nutter off Blisco, I would have been well over 3 hours. Great but tough race. Next year sub 2:40!
