The ladies only training evening continues to be popular, even this week, when no reminder for it appeared on the web site, and seeing everyone enjoying a very pleasant summer evening up on Weets, it is perhaps no surprise.
If you have not yet joined the girls on this night out, do come along. All abilities are catered for, both beginners and experienced runners. The only qualification you need is to be female.

From Zero to Hero
What a difference three weeks can make. Stephen Chew has gone from a DNF to a winner. And not just a winner, but a winner in style, as he bossed the race from the start. As the runners went up to Sharp Haw on the out leg, he had already built up a good lead and he maintained this on the run out towards Flasby. As they returned to the summit once more, he still had a good lead and he looked to have the race in the bag. And so it turned out at the end. Steve kept his concentration and showed some of the form that he displayed in the Pendle & Burnley Grand Prix last year to gain a very emphatic victory, with a time of 37:04 and a lead of 1 minute 16 seconds over 2nd place Luke Maude of Skipton.
Other Barlick finishers were:
7 Nick Treitl 39:59
42 Andrew Driver 47:14

6 Georgia Treitl 8:46
91 Richard TREITL 1:56:26
This race was won by Tom Adams of Ilkley in 16:25 which was almost 2 minutes faster than the second runner, Paul Tiffany of Bingley. This seems to suggest that this race suits anyone who likes a fast dash.
The Barlickers finished as follows:
15 Sam Wadsworth 20:14
65 Richard Treitl 25:54
75 Rachel Lowther 26:54
100 finishers.
Good performances from Gary Shaw, Shaun & Steve Chew saw Barlick Fell Runners finish 2nd out of around 60 teams. Gary Shaw put the Barlickers into the lead on the first leg, but the 2nd and 3rd leg runner from Horwich RMI were too fast for our lads to keep up with and Horwich went on to win this competition. Still a good performance to come second behind what was a very good Horwich team.
