Hoad Hill Harriers Newsletter July 2019 It's That Way Guys HOAD HILL HARRIERS NEWSLETTER JULY 2019 IT’S THAT WAY GUYS - TRUST ME!!! 1. EDITORIAL: Well July seemed to fly by, and as usual you have all been busy. Hopefully I have managed to capture a flavour of what you have all been up to in this issue. The next two months will be busy ones for the club, hosting three events – the 10k, 5k and cross country. Whilst we obviously try to encourage as many of you to take part, it is also vital that we have volunteers to assist in the smooth running and organisation of these events. Friends, family and partners are all welcome to help, so please keep an eye open for ‘shout outs’ for help and ease the workload of others. Once again, many thanks to all those who have sent in reports and photos this month, it certainly makes my life easier, and hopefully produces an interesting read. If you have any ideas on what could be added to the newsletter, please let me know. In producing this, I try to keep everyone informed with what is happening at the club, both socially, organisational, and update you on running events/results. If any members compete in a race, know of any good races or have any views on anything, please feel free to e mail your article to me, Adrian at [email protected] - and I will include it in the next newsletter. Finally, apologies if I have missed a race you competed in, missed you from a result or if you don’t like the photo I used of you!! WELCOME: Welcome to new member Michal Parka, we hope you enjoy your time with us. PAUL’S BENCH: It was a glorious evening for our annual run up to Paul Jarvis’s memorial bench on Hoad Hill, to honour his memory and the sterling work he did for our club. Many thanks go to Simon Barton, who removed the bench to carry out some repair work a couple of weeks earlier. 2. 2. 20 BARRIERS RACE: CARNFORTH: 7th. July: Pete Davison Pete Davison 65th. 45:46 Ian Conway 138th. 59:18 Carnforth 20 Barriers and the Joys of Off-Road Running This is one you would all actually really enjoy despite the ominous title. The barriers are stiles and the terrain is more cross country than fell. I am determined next year to get a good group of us to do this one, as it is a great atmosphere, as I often find when Lancs. clubs like Bentham Beagles are present in numbers. Recent chats with members have revealed an increasing interest in off road running. It’s been great to see everyone enjoying Pat’s bank holiday runs introducing folk to local paths they did not know existed. The Monday summer runs are increasingly exploring local off-road routes and if any of you have a favourite local walk that involves paths or trails then be bold and share it, you’d be surprised how many people would appreciate it! Oh yes; the race! Ian Conway and I had a lovely run round paths and fields we would not have otherwise known and came away the better for it. We just can’t remember our times or positions, or care! And that is another joy of off-road races. You can’t really compare them year on year as each is very different. So, you have always done well! And there are always some old buggers at the back so you don’t come last! Oh, and they are A LOT cheaper to enter than road races. (this one set us back a fiver each). Here are a couple of up and coming local off road races that you can’t get lost on ( i.e way marked) and are more cross country despite the ‘fell’ title’ so are good to try as a first shot at it… Beetham Show Fell Race 27th July Rusland Show Fell Race 17th August 3. HOAD HILL FELL RACE: July 4th. Louise Thompson This year’s fell race saw record numbers tackle our new course, extended this year with the addition of an extra mile, taking the runners to the undulating Eastern side of Newland, and providing the local fell runners with an opportunity to run a fell in private ownership. On the hottest night on record for this event, the fells were good underfoot, with dry sections, gravel paths, and rocky outcrops providing plenty of firm ground to run this 4.4k race with 198m of climb. The steep climb up the side of Hoad, saw the 48 runners begin to stretch out, before disappearing over the top by the monument. A good viewpoint from the monument, enabled you watch the race develop from all angles on the course. They were only out of site as they took a steep descent down the footpath at Newland, before heading back-up towards little Hoad. A small group of 3 from Ambleside AC, Ulverston Tri & Leven Valley looked to gain a slight advantage as they descended down towards Newland Back and that didn’t change until they hit the fast level section returning up to the monument. Michael Gregory, from Ulverston Tri Club, took the opportunity at this point with a fast, confident descent down toward the finish, just missing out on the 20-minute mark. Only a 10 second gap split him from Luke Bowen of Ambleside AC in 20.42 and Noah Kidd of Leven Valley and first Junior Runner in 20.49. 4th James Bowen Ambleside Ac 2nd Junior runner 5th Mathew Rooke Black Combe Runners 21.57 6th Brian Pennington Howgill Harriers 22.09 NO NAME CLUB CAT TIME A strong field soon came home in quick st 1 Michael Gregory Ulverston Tri Club M40 20.32 succession, with the first female and 1 junior girl home, Olesia Winder of Leven Valley 25.01 2 Luke Bowen Ambleside AC MU23 20.42 She gained a minute over 2nd Female, Rebecca 3 Noah Kidd Leven Valley U18B 20.49 Rooke of Black Combe Runners 26.36, 3rd 4 James Bowen Ambleside AC U16B 21.20 Kathleen Aubbey Helm Hill 27.22, 4th Liz 5 Mathew Rooke Black Combe Runners MSEN 21.57 McNally Leven Valley 29.21 5th Lauren Booth 6 Brian Pennington Howgill Harriers M40 22.09 G Hoad Hill Harriers 30.39 6th Susan Ross 7 Bobby Gard-Storry UA MSEN 22.19 Black Combe Runners 31.30 8 Andrew Dorrian Hoad Hill Harriers MSEN 22.21 9 Jos Addison Helm Hill MSEN 22.40 This was a great competitive event, which is 10 Jay Heaton Hoad Hill Harriers MU23 22.46 growing in popularity and numbers each year. 11 Edward Sargent Leven Valley U16B 22.52 Hoad Hill Harriers would like to thank: 12 James Bailey Leven Valley M45 23.02 Race sponsor Steven Martin Associates, Ford 13 Paul Singleton UA M65 23.17 park, Ulverston Towns Trust, tenant farmer 14 Samuel McSherry Leven Valley U18B 23.33 and landowner for allowing the event to be 15 John Millen Black Combe Runners M45 23.34 held. 16 Owain Rhys Clark Leven Valley U16B 24.49 17 David Kyriacou Leven Valley M40 25.21 18 Dave Parker Leven Valley M50 25.28 19 Mark Simmonds Leven Valley M55 25.38 20 Ronnie Haddow Furness Fell Runners M45 25.50 21 Dave McNally Leven Valley M40 26.03 22 Nathan Harris Leven Valley MSEN 26.17 23 Nathan Ritchie Leven Valley U16B 26.27 24 Mick Cull Hoad Hill Harriers MSEN 26.32 25 Paul Managh Hoad Hill Harriers M40 26.34 26 Dan Aaron Furness Fell Runners M45 26.48 27 David White Helm Hill M45 27.22 28 Michael Jewell Black Combe Runners M60 27.39 29 Jonathan Bailey Black Combe Runners M40 27.35 30 Jason Walters UA M45 30.23 31 Lewis Watts Hoad Hill Harriers MSEN 30.27 32 Chris Roberts Black Combe Runners M60 30.30 33 Paul Corkhill Leven Valley M40 31.11 34 Jim Davis CTR M55 31.26 35 Andrew Hemsley Walney Wind Cheetas M55 32.31 36 John Pollard Glossopdale Harriers M65 34.12 37 Karl Fursey Black Combe Runners M50 35.30 4.

  • Wasdale Course Details
    Wasdale Fell Race 11am Saturday 9th July 2016 21miles/9000ft The Wasdale is without doubt one of the best in the book, not only is it arguably the hardest it is also the most scenic – the view as you drive up to Wasdale Head is worth the entry fee alone. I think it was Wordsworth who said that every fellrunner should do at least one Wasdale in their careers, something like that anyhow. Pre entry only - £12.00 by 25th June – limited number of entries on the day are £15. Over 18. Limit of 250. Don’t leave it too late.... Wasdale Fell Race registration is in a tent just beyond the National Trust car park in the field on the left just after you cross the bridge on the track towards Brackenclose G.R.184074. Parking is permitted in the same field made available by a Wasdale Head farmer. We normally charge £3 per car. Do NOT park on the campsite or on the valley road. This is most important as the numbers may cause congestion if too many cars attempt to arrive too close to the start time. Start is within the Coffin Track path just past the field beyond the Brackenclose climbing hut G.R.184066; the finish is by the tent that you registered in. Toilets and showers are available in the Wasdale Head Campsite – river very close by. Free! to all runners & helpers tea sandwiches and cakes at finish – possibly some cooked food will also be on sale. Course: Map – Special PBS/Harveys race map from PBS £3: OS Outdoor Leisure 6 South Western and 4 North Western or Harveys Lakeland West.

    calder valley fell runners ON COMMITTEE SHEEP SHEET ....October 2005.... WORLD V40 CHAMPION CHAIRPERSON THIS PICTURE SAYS ITS ALL ....... Rod Sutcliffe Sally had a tough race with Jaqui Hargreaves and Ruth Pickvance. They both shot off the start line like S**t off a shovel and Sal said she just couldn't go with them and decided to run her own race. Climbing well Sal saw Jaqui's shorts in the distance and realised that she was now running stronger. After overtaking each other a few times Sal got the bit between her teeth and went for it downhill leaving Jaqui behind. She then spied Ruth and overtook her and and I think this must have surprised Ruth but she couldn't respond and Sal won by 30 seconds. Someone SECRETARY was heard to say that they had never seen anyone with Jo smith such short legs with such a big leg stride and I think such a big smile on the finish line. Well done Sal from all your Calder Valley team mates. Congratulations and thank God ....... Yes he managed it ... Allan Greenwood managed to TREASURER complete his BG in 23hours Cerys Davies and 48 minutes ... exactly the same time as Bob Graham did himself all those years ago. This was his third attempt this year and he put his support throught the mill each time but we are all really glad after all his effort that he managed ... and Linda got her posh frock for the BG dinner. Well Done CLUB CAPTAIN Allan Andy Clarke CVFR LADIES TEAM HAVE WONTEAM SILVER IN THE BRITISH CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR THE SECOND YEAR RUNNING, SALLY HAS WON SILVER AS A SENIOR WOMEN AND GOLD AS A VET ..

EIGHTH ISSUE - DECEMBER 1976 E d i t o r i a l . Sorry this is a bit later than last year, but the reason is a good one; we want to send this issue out with the 1977 Calendar to save postage costs. Whilst on the subject of money, 1977 subs are now due, a mere £1.00 to Dave Payne as soon as possible please. From the talk around, it seems that the 1977 season might see fell racing for women really get off the ground. Apart from those events which already welcome the girls, I hear that Clayton are seriously considering a ladies event at the Pendle in April and I expect other promotors will follow suit. Most appropriately Ross Brewster has chosen Pete and Jean Dawes as his subject for interview this time. On the same subject, included in this issue are the latest womens' C.C. and R.W.A. rules which apply to ro-'d races and which should be useful to both promoters and would-be competitors in fell races.

I suppose all good things have to come to an end but I must admit to being more than a little discomfited to have to inform you that this will be the A!ast "Fellrunner" that I will be editing. After nineteen years serving on the FRA Committee, which has involved the production of fifteen FRA Calendars and eighteen issues of the magazine, I have decided with great regret to resign from the FRA Committee following last night's (Thursday 5th October) meeting. I have enjoyed immensely being Editor of the "Fellrunner" and had hoped to continue for a number of years to come but although a large portion of the magazine is composed of material of general interest to the fellrunning community it is, nevertheless, the official information outlet for the FRA and I cannot bring myself any longer to be associated with the policies the FRA now appears to be following with regard to the future of the sport and UK Athletics' role in it.

  • The Joss Naylor Challenge by Brian Jackson 14 July 2012 the Evening
    The Joss Naylor Challenge by Brian Jackson 14 July 2012 Mark Townsend, Julian Brown, BJ, Kath Turner and Debbie Thompson at the start The evening of Friday 13 July 2012 had finally arrived. All the training and reccying for my Joss Naylor Challenge attempt would now be put to the test. Julian Brown, Kath Turner I drove up to Sleagill Head Farm, HQ of Sportident UK and home of Martin Stone and Debbie Thompson. Debbie was there to greet us together with old Clayton-le- Moors clubmates Tony and Vanessa Peacock who are to provide the road support. Julie Gardner and Johnny the Jack Russell arrived later and as we ate cake and drank tea we sorted out kit and food. My trusty heavy duty cag with the weight of an engineering brick was rejected and replaced by a lighter one of Julian’s. I will never be allowed to forget this. 11.40pm in Pooley Bridge at the north end of Ullswater and all is deadly quiet. Only a few strange people with lights their heads are about. I meet Mark Townsend for the first time. He is here to help Debbie navigate on the first leg. There is time to take photos on the bridge and then it is midnight. Off we go through the fields, along the lakeside road and up through the caravan site and onto the hills. The few people looking out of their caravans must have been perplexed by the sight of six headtorches jogging purposely onward and upward. The Joss Naylor Challenge is a long distance route fell runners over 50.

If you require a copy please contact Julie Ferguson [email protected] 1 Editors notes The club has seen a large increase in new members over the last 6 months, so much so that putting names to faces is nearly impossible. At the start of the year I could name 95% of runners who ran in the famous East Hull Vest but now I’m afraid I’m down to around 80%. Nevertheless it’s nice to see so many new faces especially as our younger element is increasing. We were getting into the position where our top runners were approaching 40 or over with only a couple of runners capable of claiming top prizes. That is now changing as the level of runner approaching 30 to 35 must have gone up by 50% and lots of these are showing great ability especially for the future. It was nice to see all the new names put forward by Paul Nippy have now become members but sad to see some of our longer standing members have decided for one reason and another to call it a day.
