Low cloud and a stiff westerly breeze made for a challenging climb up to the trig on Great Whernside. It was a day for youthful legs as both male and female winners were under 21s.

This is a cracking little race with a length of 5 miles and ascent of 900 ft.There is little wonder therefore that it attracted 206 entrants.
Just one Barlicker turned out who just managed a top ten finish.
10 David Poole 43:44 (2nd MV40)
New member Raymond Banks is no slouch when it comes to quick races. He is a V70 and he still completed this 5K in 22:34.

It was business as usual at Gargave show with the horse jumping running over time which delayed the start of the fell race, with the seniors having to patiently wait until all the junior races had been completed.
Just three Barlickers turned out for this race with Robert Cranham leading them home in 6th place. James Wadsworth had come over from Italy for his holiday and he entered this race for old time's sake and managed a top twenty finish despite a complete lack of race fitness. Another with a lack of race fitness was Glenn Whittaker but he also put in a tidy performance for his first outing on the fells for some time.
The main aims of the club are to increase the participation of running in Barnoldswick and to keep organised running as accessible as possible.
