The
weather recently has made running seem less than attractive, but
participants in the Eston Nabb Nee Nocker Fell Race were fortunate to get
their race in before the afternoon sleet! The race had a set outward route
but a choice of return routes, and this had an effect on the results.
Charles Stead of NFR obviously chose the best route, winning in a time of
33.52. Pete Wilkin, running well again, came 10th in 38.46, Cameron
Choules 17th in 39.58, Stewart Mechie 27th in 42.47, Alan Wikeley 50th
in50.29 and Steve Harrison 54th in 51.08. The team finished in 3rd place.
On the same day, Alan Harman competed on
the Spen 20 in preparation for yet another attempt at the London Marathon.
He finished 191st in 3.08.25. Other Harriers taking part in the London
Marathon this year are Hester Cox, Jill Knight and Paul Iley, all of whom
are looking for sponsors for their various charities.
