As well as adding the Stanza Stones results I’ve fixed all the various issues with the leaderboard that have been reported. If you see anything wrong, please let me know and I’ll fix it.
Nice to see some of you at Stanza Stones – I was the one guiding you across Manchester Road after Pule Hill (and monitoring your dots through Saturday night).
Karen’s write up is below the line:
It’s a beautiful sunny day and here I am slaving over a hot keyboard. This one turned into a right mare due to missing results from Calderdale Hike. Done now though.
Please scrutinise. I’ve done lots of faffing to get this to work. If anything looks wrong please drop me an email or FB message and I’ll sort it out.
Unfortunately the Lakeland 5 Passes has been cancelled for 2025. No further information at the moment.
We’ve substituted the Pennine 39 for the L5P in the series, so if you were planning on doing L5P feel free to enter P39 instead. Plenty of places still available.
Leaderboard updates for the Calderdale Hike will be bundled in with the Fellsman now I’ve got the Fellsman results. We’ve been trying unsuccessfully to get authoritative results from CH, so we’ve had to find ways around.
The leaderboard is gradually improving in quality as I figure out the formatting. I’ve just processed a bunch of membership forms as well, so if you’ve been not hearing back from me you might now be showing up.
Karen’s writeup from the LAW75 is below the fold.
It’s taken a while, lots going on just at the moment, but I’ve been working out how to update the leaderboard & results. I think I’ve got it. There’s some formatting that can be improved (I’ll work on that for next time), but at least something resembling results are there. If they’re wrong, please let me know and I’ll fix them.
Karen’s Bowland writeup is below the line. It looked snowy and spectacular:
The leaderboard is updated for the Warrington Way here. That was the final race of the year, so that’s the final leaderboard. Congratulations to everyone who has qualified this year, to all category winners, and to our (for the first time ever I think?) two joint overall winners!
Karen’s writeup of the WW is below the line:
Couple of quick announcements.
First things first – the following early races will be in the series for 2025:
The Bowland Ultra (medium) on the 11th January
The LAW75 (long) on the 8th Feb
Neither are in imminent danger of filling up at time of writing, but since they’re so early in the year you may want to plan them in.
Secondly, the AGM. We’re returning to the Shoulder of Mutton in Mytholmroyd as per last year. It’s just across the road from the railway station. As we did last year, we’ll be setting up a Turf event for anyone who wants to join in. If you’re not familiar with Turf, it’s a bit like a cross between Pokemon Go and orienteering. Controls gain you points for visiting, but also for the time you ‘hold’ them until the next person visits. You’ll need the app on your phone (available free on Google Play Store and the Apple store), and it’s worth having a go with it beforehand (there are permanent Turf controls or ‘zones’ all over the UK and elsewhere in Europe).
AGM date is the 23rd Nov
The leaderboards have now been updated for the Bullock Smithy. Nick’s write up will follow shortly…
and that’s another race completed, and the leaderboards updated. Many thanks to Andy R for updating the leaderboards from his sick bed. Hoping he heals quick. Next is the Bullock Smithy Hike…
Update – Nick’s photos from this event.
The results have been processed and the leaderboards updated on the results page. Karen’s blog of the event is reposted below:
