Anna Liuba and Susie Jollie ran on to Shelf, 68th in 78.18, and Di Kitchen and Alison Bennett brought the team back to Copley 56th on their leg in 91.58, making the team 52nd overall.
For the men's team, Mike Baldwin and Clive Smith gave us a sound start - 32nd in 80.13. Graham Pearce and Dick Hebbert dashed to the changeover, but still managed 49th on their leg in 75.32. Adrian Hall and Roy Ruddle had a strong run - 18th in 42.42, as did our next pair of Nick Pearce and Jim Ryder, 14th in 73.11. Kevin McMullan and Ken Souyave continued the good work, 21st on their leg with 63.42, and Pete Shields and Neil Chapman brought the team home 53rd on their leg but in 24th place overall with their time of 91.32.

Ilkley Moor fell race, 11 Nov 2001

The Ilkley Moor fell race was one of the first fell races to be cancelled due to foot and mouth disease precautions back in February, so with the all-clear from all the appropriate authorities it was great to be able to stage this popular local race on Sunday. 210 runners finished the 4.5 mile course, with 1150' of climb. The race is a tough one (as well as perhaps being a little longer than the quoted 4.5 miles), with Rob Hope winning again, in a time of 38.23. There were some 20 Harriers in the field, including notably Tim Ashelford, 15th in 43.51; Graham Pearce 20th in 45.43; and Jim Ryder 27th in 46.08.
