Saunders Mountain Marathon : 3/4 July
Three teams from Eryri Orienteers entered this years Saunders MM, centred around an assembly area at Wet Sleddale in the Far Eastern Fells and by coincidence we had all entered the same course – Harter Fell.
Saturday brought clear skies and warm weather as we headed out over the Shap Fells through Mosedale and Crookdale to a delightful and sociable overnight camp in Longsleddale. (18.80km – 690m)
By contrast day 2 weather could not have been any more different with low cloud and rain starting just as the tents came down. This deteriorated further as the day went on with strong winds, heavy rain and poor visibility combined with a challenging route which took us out over Swindale and Mardale back to the assembly area. (16.8km – 675m)
Results : Harter Fell
| 4th o/a | Ciaran Allen / Andy Allen | 6:42:43 |
| 8th o/a | Dave Broatch /Kath Broatch | 7:23:54 (1st Mixed Vet) |
| 57th o/a | Helena Burrows / Anne Darlington | 9:54:24 |
