Longshaw Sheepdog Trials Fell Race 2009

A gem of a Fell Race . It's an add-on to the Sheep Dog Trails and the range of trophys for that event is stunning. Prizes were handed out by the Duke of Devonshire and my prize of a jar of Pickles will now be called 'Dukes Pickles' The field was squelchy and soon covered in deep mud. The runner who came to the race on his tractor did a nice sideline in dragging runners cars off the field. Gary McMahon 1st V50 (Jar of Pickles) The prize that was worth winning.
Training and Racing: Tuesday 01 Sept - Sunday 06 Sept 2009 Tuesday 01 Sept - 6:30pm A 9.1 mile run from Bramcote out onto the Erewash Canal over Toton sidings and back via Moor Bridge.
