John Boothman made a late entry into the 23 mile Settle Saunter to test out his leg and do a few miles before next week's Spine. The weather was damp at the start and breezy. but ideal for a jog round the trails. It was a very well organised event - low key with staggered starts. John set off late and enjoyed passing people on the way round, although he had no idea of his position in the field, especially as the 13 mile route is same as the 23 mile for first half.
He had a respectable time and result, but once he had seen the results, he wished that he had pushed on harder.

The weather was fine, but very windy and the runners were heading into the wind on the ascent. William Walker of Clayton led the runners on the way out and he was closely followed by Tom Corrigan, As they approached the summit, the gap began to close with Tom taking the lead on the return. The gap between the two runners gradually widened, with Tom evetually taking the honours with a one minute lead. Behind those two, there were two Barlickers battling it out for third place, with David Mirifield just edging it over Ben Whitehead.
In the ladies race, Molly Ralphson led everyone home to not only win the race, but to also finish first W50. She is certainly on form at the moment. Second place went to the unattached Hannah Goldswain and like the men's race, there was a battle between two Barlickers for third place, with Jacqueline Collins taking the honours over Lucy Brown. Married life must be suiting Paula Cullen as she had an excellent race to finish in sixth place and third Barlicker.
Barlick won both the men's and the ladies' team prizes.

The race was easily won by Grant Cunliffe of Rossendale who was way out in front of the rest of the field. If the fell tops had been dryer, he might have set a new course record. He was followed home by Adam Wale who was first M40.

The Barlickers were led home by Matthew Smedley who finished 6th.
