Some slight changes to announce to the published teams: -

Open A team - Leg2/Leg 6 swap - Leg 2 will now be Karen Pickles/Dave Woodhead and leg 6 will now be Gary Bailey/Darren Burnley.


Men's Vets team - Leg 5 - Dave Magee has withdrawn. Looking to Dave Hudson to replace (to be confirmed)


Ladies team - Leg 4 Rhea Blakeledge has withdrawn Joy Good will replace.


As can be seen there will always be withdrawals leading up to the race for a variety of reasons. so I cannot stress enough that we cannot have too many reserves.

If you are not signed up to this and have nothing planned for 1st September why not put your name forward as a reserve. All abilities wanted.

Hello Dave

Just letting you know I'm a bit of an unreliable reserve at the moment due to recovering from a back problem, it's good there are few on the list now, will let you know for sure a wee bit nearer the time. cheers Sara

Hi Hope the reccies are going ok and you are steering clear of injuries.

I can see some great work been done on the reccies and its been good to see collaboration with other clubs. I think Dave Woodhead has a challenger to his record of reccying every leg in the form of Neil Wallace.

There are a few of you I haven't seen for a while so I trust all is well please let me know of any problems sooner rather than later.

As you can see we still have all our teams intact at the moment as we enter the nervous last few days, we even have a reserve for each of our teams although none for the mens vets team.

If you have nothing else organised I would like to request that you please consider putting yourself forward as a reserve, also please see Neil's request to try and put an unofficial water station on at Leg 3.


Updated teams: -

Open A team.
Leg 1 - Nigel Armitage/James Clark
Leg 2 - Karen Pickles/David Woodhead
Leg 3 - Al Chapman/Richard Gibson
Leg 4 - Paul Gaille/Jim Cantwell
Leg 5 - Robert Samuels/Simon Coughlan
Leg 6 - Darren Burnley/ Gary Bailey

Reserve - David Coleman

Open B team.
Leg 1 - Mark Pawson/Mark Smith
Leg 2 - Tony Mawson/ Richard Allen (to be confirmed)
Leg 3 - Andrew Smithurst/Steve Cowgill
Leg 4 -Andrew Byrom/Neil Wallace
Leg 5 - Roy Bamford/Jon Pop
Leg 6 -Graham Fisher/John Woodhead

Reserve - Sam Hurrell


Men's Vet team.
Leg 1 -Dave Butler/Martin Robson
Leg 2 -Dave Cooper/Steve Pattison
Leg 3 -Mark Nolan/Mark Dixson
Leg 4 -Darryl Stead/Steve Boom
Leg 5 - Jim Wheldon/David Hudson
Leg 6 - Dave Burdon/Andy Hardaker

Reserve - Urgently Needed (Must be male and over 40)

Leg 1 - Kath Leslie/Lorreta Robson
Leg 2- Jenny Cooper/Sharon Hague
Leg 3- Sue Ransome/Lucy Armstrong
Leg 4 - Katy Ralph/Joy Good
Leg 5 -Carol Parkinson/Lyn Arthurs
Leg 6 -Trish Pop/Ann Francis
Reserves - Caroline Clarke
Possibly Sara Demaine

We are told there are a record 49 teams entered and rumour has it none from Leeds City.

It promises to be another great event.
As we get nearer I will provide some timings and further race information. I am expecting the vest numbers etc through this week which usually leads to a mad scramble to get them to everyone prior to race day.

Many thanks.
