High
Rigg 2007
Sunday 27th May
2007
Report from Nichola Jackson (our ace reporter).
This race, the second in the FRA championship was
at the same venue as the Helvellyn race for the seniors.
Mum drove to the Lakes for this race as Dad was
running the Black Sheep races again in Yorkshire.
We picked up Alan Appleby on the way as he wanted
to watch.
When I did this race two years ago, we parked on
a very hilly car park which had lots of cow muck in it but this year we were on
a different field. This is a nice race and is organised by a relative of the
Stuarts - Rosie is in my age group for the fells, but older runners (Dad!) will
know all about her Dad, Kenny Stuart.
Our races go across the road to climb High Rigg...
the ascent for the seniors looked very steep and I`m glad we were not going
their way.
Andrew was here too running in the U16 boys but
I`m not sure where he finished as full results are nowhere to be seen!!
This is a good, mostly all runable race and Laura
Park who had a great winter at cross country won the race.
On the descent, I pushed hard and Alan was very
supportive! I managed to pass two others on the way in to finish 6th and I was
quite pleased as it was a strong field and I`m in the lower end of the age
group.
Mum took the pictures, so they are not as good as
Dad's and she didn't manage to get Andrew in the centre of the picture!

Well done again Nichola, I'll
see if I can get you on the reporting payroll! I like references to cow muck!
& mum's picture of Andrew. Well anyway Andrew, nobody can say you were
framed!
