A very warm and sunny day dawned for the final counter of the Kendal Winter League. Having been out drinking on Chris Newman's stag do the previous evening, Sam Watson and Ted Mason were both feeling rougher than Ernie's coat, and the feeling of refreshment looked to be lacking a bit. Jonny Bradshaw, however, was looking very fleet-footed and took the win.
Some mountains. Don't know which ones, Wetherlam maybe, looked good though.

The pack of 4 chasing Bradshaw. Ted later commented on how good Mike's lines were off the cairn, carrying him to 2nd place.

Race list is up here. Austwick is a tbc.
Austwick's been dropped due to parking issues.Quote:

The most obvious cause of parking problems at Austwick looked to be that people were parking on the section of Crummack Lane beyond Sowerthwaite Farm, which is a bridleway and off-limits to motorised traffic without access. The fact that it is far too narrow for sensible parking of any sort throughout a good deal of its length is irrelevant. If Austwick were to return as a seniors only race with no parking beyond the right hand turn to Sowerthwaite Farm, i could assist you in marshalling this restriction; as at close of registration at 12.45 i would have 15mins to make my way to the start of the race.Quote:

Big turnout again for first race of the series - 160+ seniors. Great organisation with the new registration set up which was very professional. Team slats enjoyed themselves even if I was reduced to spectating with a rib injury. Thanks to all at Helm involved with the organisation.
172 seniors started! Record field but not great for parking at some of the future races.

Cheers to everyone at HH.
I have posted a video to You Tube of the Scout Scar Race at the following link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuBEE0CGg1o There are 4 parts the link is for part 1. You will hear the great support shouted out by Mrs Davies (Nicola`s Mum) who was brilliant. Hopefully i will get better as just getting used to new camcorder.
Results from Firbank
Had to miss Firbank, by back has gone into spasm again.
For anyone who had trouble following the flags at Whitestones. http://www.helmhill.co.uk/index.php/whitestones
Race update.
The Yarlside Downhill has been moved from March 24th to April 7th.
Mainly to avoid the clash with Edale which the organiser is doing.
Hope to see you there.
Thanks
Aardvark
I can also confirm that Sunday's race at Fairmile will start at 1pm. It is seniors only at Fairmile this year but we thought best to keep the race at the same time that the seniors normally set off after the kids even though they wont be there.
Bring your skis! More snow might have arrived by start time on Sunday.
Video`s of Fairmile at the following links, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMIKQvuD_U0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oNJqF7cbc8 Sorry a little bit shaky but conditions were quite poor.
And I've made a couple of juniors videos at the Winter League:Quote:

I'm not the organiser and each KWL race is separately organised. However I know that some of the organisers are on the forum so hopefully they will see your post.Quote:
