Shuttlingsloe Fell
Don registered his first Group 4/5 win of the season; the fifth different winner in eight races (the others are Paul, Nicky, Ian and Sean). The Men demonstrated their strength with Ian, Gareth and Bill taking 2nd., 3rd. and 4th. The Ladies, however, countered with depth; Sally, Kate, Tracy, Julie and Penny filling the next five places. Trevor completing the scoring for the Men. Of the virgins, Penny found Shuttlingsloe more to her liking than Tracy, who struggled with the drop more than the climb. Gareth made a strong start to the Summer Series despite losing two Wilmslow places on the descent. The Ladies carry a 39 point lead to the Gun Run according to the Summer Series table but Don was not credited to Wilmslow in the official results so the Men have more points to come.
