Langley Fete Fell Run 2019 - Results and report

Huge thanks to all the runners and helpers who came to the fell run on Sunday 7th July!

Another good turnout for my final year as race organiser. A slightly different route this year proved challenging but hopefully you all thought it made the race more of a 'fell' run.

Polly Lander Orienteering Trophy (PLOT) - results and report

Thanks to everyone for turning out, to John for the very generous donation of prizes, to Chris & Pete for help on the day, to the Potters for collecting controls & to Julian for the maps.

A shame that Charlie sprained an ankle about as far away from base as was possible so had a long hobble back. If rehab needs a wobbleboard I`ve got one you can borrow.

We did Allen out of 1 control last night, I`ve checked the other cards this morning so these are the definitive results. We've decided not to penalise Dave B for his attempt to get a lift from Pete!!!
