This local evening BS fell race was held this year on 4th June. The FRA calendar reports it as 9.4k (5.9 miles) but I'm fairly sure that refers to the old route, which has not been used for several years and it's now a full 7 miles. The weather was fine and the ground conditions, whilst wetter than usual, were not too slippy, due to effect of the drying wind.on the surface.
The race was won by Gary Priestley of Salford (yes Salford!) in a time of 45:23, with Horwich men placing second and third. Lindsey Brindle was first lady, 12th overall in a time of 53:16.
TYC, obviously well recovered from his long day out in the Lakes, was 17th in a time of 55:26.
EYJ was 1st V70 in 72:45.
"What happened to the good packing" do I hear you ask - wait for it!
Back in 99th was Botters in 83:43, then Colin, 100th in 85:30, with yours truly 101st in 86.56 - now that's good packing.
104 finished.
The evening was rounded off with beer in the Bowling Club, also enjoyed by the L & LoB.
