News: October 2011
I had an email from Gavin Burt, an osteopath from London, who has devised a way to accurately diagnose injuries and give some professional advice as well as recovery plans. If you click on the image above you will be taken to the website where you will find a whole list of possible explanations for your own personal injury! Give it a go....it's pretty self-explanatory but if you need further help then click here for more info on how to use the site. It didn't explain my injury by the way!

A flurry of activity throughout the week culminated with a few late applications for exemptions from running in the relay, most as usual rejected but Leigh Warburton pulled out due to illness and was replaced by the ever keen Yiannis Tridimas. Those discussions at Bill’s funeral on the Friday were cemented and the open team was reformed.
The journey to Kettlewell was most scenic travelling through the picturesque
Once the Sean’s were located we were set for the off. Mild panic at a few late arrivals was soon allayed and the teams were all in place. Great runs were had by all and all 3 teams coped with the difficult terrain, tussocks, bogs, rough tracks and came home in good order. The navigation leg was excellent and the controls well hidden necessitating careful and accurate navigation over hard terrain. Well done Quentin for taking on all the nav responsibility for our leg – makes my life a bit easier not having to think about that map reading business.
The race was won by Dark Peak 3.5 mins ahead of Borrowdale.

A fantastic performance by both Open and Mixed teams in the IHMR - with the clag down, the compass was out on legs 2, 3 and 4 and no major errors were made, unlike Dark Peak and Clayton to mention a few. The Open team were 8th overall and the Mixed team were 4th in category. See the new BOWLAND BLOG for some first hand accounts.
