  • Ian Hodgson Mountain Relay - 6 October 2013

    Ian Hodgson Mountain Relay - 6 October 2013

    Ian Hodgson Mountain Relay - 6 October 2013 The sublime 2012 early-Autumn weather of last year was sadly consigned very much to history, as rather more typical Lakeland weather engulfed Patterdale. As our native North East enjoyed a very pleasant Sunday, 560 hardy fell-runners enjoyed something very different. Thick cloud down to about 700 feet covered the race area, meaning all of the higher ground was thick and claggy, resulting in some testing route-finding challenges. Persistent rain faced most of us, with brisk winds adding to the general unpleasantness. Leg 1 started dry, leg 2 not quite, the leg 2/3 changeover was hideous, with Kirkstone totally clagged in rain-bound cloud, such that we couldn’t even see over the road to identify which teams were coming in. Leg 3 runners disappeared entirely as soon as they went through the gate out of the handover area! Leg 4 was similarly horribly wet, but at least the start was below the thick cloud level. Altogether not what any of us wanted. Despite the weather dampening spirits a little, it was not enough to dampen the usual, good-natured rivalry, in the battle to be crowned top North East team, between NFR, Tynedale Harriers and Saltwell Harriers. Paul Hainsworth and Emma Bain led us off on the 1st leg from Patterdale, over Angle Tarn and down to Hartsop. Despite neither of them having run the leg before, or reccied it in advance, they had a great run to bring us home in 46 mins, ahead of both local rivals, in 38th position.

    Hoad Hill Harriers Newsletter August 2019

    HOAD HILL HARRIERS NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2019 1. EDITORIAL Well I guess that’s summer over with, get those head torch batteries charged, and high viz jackets out, pack the vests away for another seven months and start pounding the streets and pavements. Still we can’t complain, the weather has been kind to us over the last few months. The summer race events we hosted went down well, with many favourable comments about the organisation, marshalling and the new 5k route. Everything went smoothly thanks to race director Louise and her team of helpers. Many thanks to all those who marshalled, help set up and tidy things away. There is just the cross country to go on Saturday September 28th. A further shout out for helpers will go out shortly. Reports of our 5K event and The Great North Run will be in the next newsletter. 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.
