Nick Leigh of Pudsey and Bramley ran away from a quality field, leading exactly one hundred runners back to the Summit Inn. The first (and last) 2 mile section is flagged, then, as I told the assembled throng on the start line by the side of the pub, “…Then you are on your own – no flags, no marshals, no mile markers, checkpoints, drink stations, mountain rescue…. nothing. It is a fell race…” to which we heard a hearty cheer!

Strong winds along the Pennine Way made the going tough and the times were a little slower as a result, justifying my insistence on full whole body cover being carried.


Holmfirth Harrier Lisa Lacon added to her recent New Year wins at Giant’s Tooth and Ovenden. Judging by the banter around the finish area everyone seemed to enjoy the course. James Logue finished fourth to win the over forty veterans prize, while Holmfirth’s John Ewart won the 50’s, Dave Tait of Dark Peak the 60’s and Derek Clutterbuck took the over 70’s award. Lynne Clough placed second behind Lisa with Abbey’s Sarah Grant in third, while Rossendale’s Davina Raidi won the over 40 prize.

Pudsey and Bramley won the team prize with ease with Johnny Parsons and Richard Pattinson - the third vet 40 - in 10th, while the Preston Harriers ladies took the women’s team prize led by Karen Leigh, with support from Emma Gregory and Lindsey Berends.


Thanks must be recorded to the new staff of The Summit who only took over shortly before the race. Paula, Gary and Eva did us proud, providing Chilli and rice or soup and sandwiches for the princely sum of two pounds! Thanks to Jackie and Kathryn on registration and finish recording and Victoria who helped Jackie on the finish. My parents manned the refreshment area near the finish for the 18th successive year. They are both in their 70’s. Special thanks to George Arnold for collecting markers in from the head of the course. A donation will be made to “Animals in Distress” at Leach Farm through which the route passes.


See you all again next year. Allan and Jackie
