Simon Townsend was the lone Chorley AC runner to join 139 other runners for the annual David Staff Fell Race on the moors of Darwen. He finished the 5.1m, 1200ft icy course in 41st place with a time of 42:32 (just 10 secs from a PB).

Steven Wilde
Steven Wilde and Phil McCullagh braved the artic conditions to shiver their ageing timbers around the frozen lanes of Salwick for the Wesham 10k on Sat 27th Nov.(Steven 50:46 & Phil 51:02).
This race,which included much of the Wesham interclub route,used the CHIP Timing facility.
I know this expression to refer to the use of modern technology to record accurately the race finishing times.
Previously ,I had thought it might relate to the period of time it took Harry Ramsden and the like to prepare the popular potato-based food item which often accompanies battered fish.
Runaholic Phil then headed off to Liverpool to take part in the Sefton Park cross country meeting.In contrast ,after sampling the delights of the "teaspoon" and "saucer" of Witton Park, I quickly realised that cross country wasn't exactly my cup of tea.

If my perception of the Preston 10 at Hutton is 5 out of 10 for severity as opposed to Hindburn at 7/10 how do you think I might perceive Rossendale? I'm prepared to sacrifice an expected massive improvement on last years' Hutton time by also running Rossendale but do you think that I might have enough left to have a good race at Hutton a day after Rossendale?

Please note that there does not appear to be any official web site for the SE Cross Country. The start time of 13:00 has been gathered from other club sites and may not be correct. I would advise runners get there well before this time because they will also need to register.

Mike Copin - Now, now Mike - you know I said I wasn't doing any XC until next season when, hopefully I will be much fitter! However, as you have publicly thrown out a challenge, I don't have any races planned until Standish Hall - and the nights are still light enough for me to finish before it goes dark! . . . . Go on then, enter me and I'll bring up the rear again!

I would have liked to have run the Rivington Trail Race today (02/10/10) but had entered the Coniston Trail Race as a follow-up to the Hawkshead Trail Race which I did in April. The Coniston Race was over 15k (although my Garmin recorded only 8.25 miles).
The course is less demanding than Hawkshead although the rock staircase up to the 4k point was tough. Thank goodness it came soon after the start - unlike the 'Coffin Trail' which hits you at 11k in the Hawkshead race!
There's a long, mainly downhill section back to the lake which requires precice foot placement that slows all but experienced descenders (fell runners). After reaching the lake, gravity assisted progress stopped and I tired quickly over the gently undulating last three kilometers.
No finished 422/435 in 1:52:29. By the half mile point the last of the tail-enders had passed me but half a mile later I had started clawing people back and eventually hauled in a dozen or so. Of those I passed on the final descent four came past on the tiring run-in although I retook one of them.
I can recommend these races (there are also two more in the series). £21 may seem a bit steep, but you do get a technical T shirt, fabulous scenery and a chance to win one of a wide variety of spot prizes based on race numbers after the presentation.
