Untitled - Dark Peak Fell Runners

CAKES OF BREAD : 7.7.86
Rob Hand and Malcolm F'atterson took an early lead and
although I pulled some of the gap back by taking the longer but
faster Back Tor route, the lead by Male was never lost.
The route to the tumulus was as usual nevr simple, with
runners spreading out across the hill. Male's route to the left
looked best. Alan Yates was toppled in the vets ranking by a
spedy Graham Berry who smashed the record in the process. The
lucky lad then had to take one of ehe edible prizes!
The finish as usual surprises people with runners
appearing from all directions, all hell bent on finishing so
that the midges, which for 40 minutes had been moribund, could
once again start their play. Clare Crofts had an excellent run
in a good time but as usual only one lady felt able to take on
this little frolic.
The pub afterwards was a safe haven from the midges
although the involuntary shaking by the organiser was neither
alcohol or bites but part of a personal disintegration that
culminated in the loss of two teeth. Rumours that the jaw may
yet be removed, as the evil persists, have been denied by a
local surgeon who was employed by Patterson to debilitate this
runner from winning the club champs.

HATHERSAGE GALA FELL RACE 7.7.86
Micah Wilson won for the second year in succession,
finishing comfortably ahead of Robin Hand. He, in turn, only
just held off the challenge of Tony Marshall, a newcomer to
these parts, who must have been pleased with his performance if
he does all his training in Lincolnshire. Or perhaps they have
got EEC potato mountains down there. Dave Trickett won a
fiercely contested vets race just pipping Dave Cartwright who
had even less to spare in keeping the determined Graham Berry
out of second slot.
