Race Report by Jen Watson

The 3rd annual Lingmell Dash fell race on 28th August was a great success for Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team.  It's proving to be a popular course for many fell runners as well as attracting a few novices to the sport.  The day was fair following an early heavy shower, there was a bit of a breeze and visibility was good.  Ricky Lightfoot (CFR) was the clear winner in 49.09, chasing him were Chris Waters (Ambleside) in 50.20 and Steve Birkinstall (NFR) in 50.39. A good race for Steve who usually prefers longer endurance runs.


First lady home was Anna Forest of Ambleside in a new ladies record of 65.32, she was followed by last years winner Nicky Goffe (Blackcombe) who showed improving form from last year.  This years race was used by Cumberland Fell Runners as a club championship race, this resulted in a good turn out of 30 CFR runners.  So good championship points for them and much appreciated support for the fellrace and MRT.


Donald Rigg had an impressive run in 35th position in the MV70 category.  A few runners new to the fell had an impressive first race, they handled the demanding ascent and descent of Lingmell well. They included Lynne Woolcock, J Miller and Julie Liddle.  All proceeds from the race, raffle and cake stall raised over £500 for the Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team. On behalf of the team I would like to thank Howard Christie of the Wasdale Head Inn and Tim Brooke of Lingmell House
B&B.


Next years race will be on 27th August 2005, Saturday 2pm  -  See you there - . Jen Watson
