 The Wasdale RESULTS
Wasdale has been voted 42 runners lined up at the Wasdale Head Inn for WMR Team Leader Julian Carradice to set them off across the valley floor with an emergency flare. After half a mile the lung bursting climb to the summit began and soon spread the field out with Dark Peaks Lloyd Taggart pulling away from his team mates Joe Blackett and Mike Robinson. Lloyd turned at the summit first and maintained his comfortable lead to finish in 46:14 - 38 seconds outside last years record and nearly six minutes ahead of Joe in 52:06 and Mike in 52:14. For the ladies Hazel Robinson of Ambleside climbed well and finished in 65:04 over five minutes outside her own record from 2006. In second Lindsay Buck (LV45) from Gosforth running for Cumberland Fell Runners maintained her excellent record in the race finishing in 75:38. Jackie Lee, who a fortnight ago jointly broke the ladies Wasdale Fell Race record by seven minutes was coerced into handing out the prizes which had all been kindly provided by local businesses with Lingmell House B&B, Wasdale Head Inn, Burnthwaite Farm B&B, The Barn Door Shop and the Great Gable Brewing Company all making contributions. All the runners also received a bottle of 'Trail Ale' donated by Howard Christie from the Inn which also provided the team prize which this year went to the

31 August 2005: Success for the Lingmell dash fell race Full photos of the day and the race at the bottom of this page The fourth annual Lingmell Dash on Saturday 27 August 2005 went well. This year we had 20 runners which we hope will gain again next year as the race becomes more established as a permanent fixture on the fell-running FRA calendar. This year's clear winner was Mike Robinson of Dark Peak runners in 46.46; a well-earned victory for Mike who is a regular supporter of the race. Yet again CFR blues and whites were out in force and second place went to Brian Thompson in 51.24, followed by Rossendale's Brendon Taylor in 53.53. Rob James of CFR had a good race (54.37), followed by team-mate Irving Block in 54.55 knocking a tremendous 4 mins off last year's time. Lindsey Buck was first lady in 69.45, a new course time for Lindsey who is in good form. Second lady was R Murray from Howich who had an impressive run. It was good to see runners supporting this fund-raising event for the Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team from all over the country including, Liverpool, Ambleside, Arsenical as well as from Cumberland fell runners.
This year the race was started by mountaineer Simon Yates, who stayed and gave an interesting lecture and slide show on his last expedition to the Yukon. The talk was attended by over 100 people and was widely enjoyed in the atmospheric barn of Row Head farm. Two of Simon's books were auctioned raising £60 which contributed to the valuable fund raising day.
The total raised from the day was £800 and a big thank you goes to Simon Yates, Howard and Kate of the Wasdale Head Inn, Tim of Lingmell House, Jim of the Barn Door Shop, Guy of the Wasdaleweb and Heather and Andrew from Row Head Farm for all their support.
See you next year on the 22 July 2006 for the next Lingmell dash Jen Fraser (race organiser)
