5/10/04: Dark Peak best ever results at Ian Hodgson
Relays
Jenny
and Oli helped Dark Peak Fell Runners to 2nd place in both the Men's and Women's
classes at the weekend in the Lake District. The women's team ran a strong race
epitomised by captain Karen Davison and British Orienteering Champion Helen
Winskill breaking the first leg record. Although the team was missing such stars
as Chaanah Patton, Hannah Wooton and Kirsty Bryan-Jones, the last leg runners:
Suzy Robertson (ShUOC) and Jenny were able to bring them home in 2nd place after
great performances on the first 3 legs saw them start in the lead. Unfortunately
Ilkley's last leg pair were just too strong, congratulations to them.
Meanwhile the men's team included Matt Crane and Andrew Middleditch
of ShUOC and Phil Winskill of SYO. Phil ran a fantastic 3rd leg with Tim Austin
to take the team up from 4th to 2nd with some great navigating. Oli and Mick
Robinson ran a storming last leg - the fastest descent of the day - to hold
on to silver behind a very strong Borrowdale team.
