Charmouth Challenge


Well done to everyone at the Charmouth Challenge on Saturday 4th July. Well done to Martin who I believe ran a PB on the course finishing 24th, but with a strong field in his age category he was only 4th MV50. Also well done for finding a free parking space in a side street – the credit crunch must be biting when 80p parking fee is out of reach!! Well done to the Ironman who cycled a prodigious distance to and from the race (perhaps he was also trying to avoid parking charges.) Well done Lin who was a close second in her age group, unfortunately only one prize per category. Well done Lesley who behaved impeccably resisting the temptation to bring the club into disrepute when two walkers wilfully strolled slowly two abreast in front of her on the narrow bridge near the finish. Well done Charlie who managed to change gender and appear as fourth male team member – see provisional results. Well done Andy who looked comfortable as he finished. Well done Dave C who at last had a slightly off day, allowing me a rare victory over him. Finally well done the organisers who were rewarded with a record entry.

A really enjoyable race, despite being tough. Its the southernmost fell race in Britain, although I would have thought that honour would go to the Isle Of Wight races that R&L did last year, or was it the year before, I can't remember, the time seems to go so fast these days, for us V50s.
I will let this stay at the top of the blog before publishing my report for the Maiden Castle Loop, or maybe I'll do it here... Oh no, I'm too tired and the glass of wine with dinner is taking effect. Watch this space...

Time really has gone fast - it was 2006 when we did the isle of Wight fell races.

Still watching this space...........
