Buckden Pike - 21 June 2025
Written by Graham WadsworthIt was a warm day for this race, but the ground underfoot was firm and Buckden Beck was down to a trickle. Young Callum Lambert cycled from Ingleton via Ribblehead and Cam Fell to take part in this race. He easily won it, collected his prize and his cup and then cycled home again. Quite some athlete. Lex Whittaker of Ambleside had a brilliant race to finish second overall and first lady.
It was good seeing some old hands returning to this race such as Colin Valentine, Pete Dugdale and John Thompson.
The Barlickers finished as follows;
14 Robert Cranham 49:50 (2nd M45)
16 Andrew Smith 50:24 (1st M60)

Weets Fell Race - 7 June 2025
Written by Graham WadsworthIt was a rain filed sky that greeted the runners in this race and bearing in mind the length of time out on the fells by the marshals in this incessant rain that caused the race organiser to impose a cut of time of 45 minutes at the summit trig. This cut off time proved to be fairly generous as only two runners failed to avoid it.
A good performance by Wharfedale's Eddie Evans saw him comfortably take the honours in this race, followed by Adam Wale of Clayton. He was followed home by Ben Whitehead of Barlick who was the first of four Barlickers to make the top ten.
Leeds City have always produced good athletes and it was therefore no surprise to see that the Ladies race was comfortably won by Ruth Jones of that club. The leading ladies were spread out and she was followed home by Josephne Well of Rossendale and Victoria Mouseley.

BOFRA, Kettlewell - 1 June 2025
Written by Graham Wadsworth19 Nick Treitl 14:36 (2nd M40)
It was ideal conditions for this race and Chris Holdsworth of Clayton made the most of it by setting a blistering pace to the summit. He continued on the descent in the same vein to comfortable win this race by over two minutes. In actual fact, he was only 20 seconds outside the record and had he been challenged more in the race, the record might have been broken. Second home was Adam Wale, also of Clayton and near the summit Ben Whitehead who was in third place started to close the gap, but on the descent Adam opened up a comfortable lead on Ben. Sam Horrocks had a good race to finish in 6th position.
In the ladies race, Louisa Powell-Smith has a goo record in the series and she once more showed her prowess by comfortably taking the women's race ahead of April Thorpe of Clayton.
The Barlickers finished as follows:
