Bollington 3 Peaks Fell Race, 9th May

Advertised as being “The only fell race that starts and finishes at a brewery” this race had plenty of appeal. The £6 entry fee even included a post-race pint along with chilli and rice.

Mark Liptrot, Ian Roberts and Greg Carns made the short trip over to Bollington for the fourth race in the club fell champs. At least it would have been short if we hadn’t relied on SatNav, which took us through Stockport town centre on a Saturday afternoon.
With registration complete the race started on the disused railway track above the brewery, now a multi-use track “The Middlewood Way”.
I was expecting a trail race (a bit like Harrock Hill) but it turned out to be a cracking route with varied terrain over the peaks of Kerridge Hill, White Nancy and Nab Head with some great descents.
The post-race chilli and a very nice pint of “3 Peaks Ale” at the Bollington brewery were an enjoyable end to another good fell race.

Colin Spark

Colin Spark has reluctantly handed in his resignation as Chairman of the Club. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s last year but his condition has turned out to be quite complex and he is no longer able to carry out his duties. Colin will be greatly missed at the Club, he has been a member for about 9 years when he brought along his daughter Tricia. Since then he has become a coach and field official, most recently becoming qualified as a starter. Colin became Chairman in September 2011 and has led the club since then. Colin was always the first to arrive on club nights, he opened up and was getting the throws area ready before anyone else arrived. We wish Colin well for the future and hope to see him visiting the Club occasionally.

We are having a collection for Colin, please see Chris Causer (or any member of the Committee) or leave your contribution at the desk.
