Thirsk and Sowerby Harriers...

On a glorious day, three members, Esther Harrison, Paul Chapman and Kerri-Lee Wooding tackled the Dales Runner 20 which starts from Reeth and taking in Fremington Edge, Arkle Town, Surrender Bridge, and Calver Hill back to the finish involving some testing ascents and descents with some spectacular ridge running.

In all, it was 20k (12.4miles) with 750 metres (2,460ft) of ascent and Esther continued her good form to finish 2nd lady, with a PB from Paul and creditable time for Kerri-Lee. Results are not yet available.

Cleveland Mountain Rescue organizes Orienteering courses from time to time, details of the course only being made available about a week before the event so there can be no secret practising!

The latest one was fairly local, about 24 miles based on Ingleby Cross, and Lucy Sillars, Kimberli Werner and Alan Simpson put themselves to the test and acquitted themselves well!

Charles Lamb had the fastest park run time this week, 13th out of 39 at Cleveland Salthouse Fields in 19.28, with new member, Liam Nolan 33rd out of 778 in 19.36 at the flat, popular York event on the Knavesmire and Bronwyn Mayo a little further behind.

Clare Gwillam travelled to Walsall Arboretum for her event and was a creditable 12th lady in 24.12 in a field of 487.
