Longmynd Valleys Sunday 8th

One of the toughest fell races on the calendar took place near Church Stretton today.........11 miles with 4500 feet of climbing, supposedly meant to be some stupidly steep sections....all in the last stages of the race.

Anyway good run by Eryri's "local" Rich Roberts to finish 3rd out of 180 odd runners in 1.54, only 2 mins behind Andy Davis of Mercia and less than 24 hours after getting 2nd in the Oswestry X/C. A good win in the ladies for Eryri's Jackie Lee in 2.06 and 14th overall, with Andrea Roberts 3rd lady in 2.16.
