Lothersdale show fell race is a very old race and many of those all old fell races were quite short and always ran the juniors along with the seniors. Lothersdale has continued with that tradition and it puts a certain amount of pressure on the seniors. The juniors run off from the start at a furious pace, but the hill climb is not long enough to allow the greater stamina of the seniors to gain the advantage. Andy Berry found himself in this invidious position today. He had the beating of those young Turks, Logan Hargreaves-Madhas from Wharfedale and Euan Fraser from Trawden, but not over such a short course. He therefore had to settle for 3rd place. Nick Kendall finished in 7th place, but at least he had the excuse of this being his 3rd race of the day.
3 Andy Berry 12:43 (1st Senior)
7 Nick Kendall 14:15 (3rd Senior)
