'Golden Pearl' Reston Scar Fell Race 19th February 2012 by Caroline Pollard
'TRIO OF SMELLY HELLY’S' FIRST EVENT IN THE LAKES FOR 2012 SUNDAY 18TH FEB ‘Golden Pearl’ RESTON SCAR 11.25km / 600M / 2 laps
On this cold, bright, sunny morning Trevor, Mark and myself went off to Staveley for this race. There was no entry fee, just a donation to ‘First Responders’. Also free soup and roll in the Hawkshead Brewery!
The race started at 12 noon, and soon found that we were overdressed (me especially). We just about got to the top of Reston Scar on the first lap together, and then it was down to the road to start the second lap, where I got left behind. Trevor led all the way round and into the finish straight along the footpath by the river, but Mark used his 5km park run speed to sprint through to the finishing banner. I was 5 minutes behind, BUT did get the LV50 prize of 3 bottles of Hawkshead beer, which was shared out, but not drunk, on the way home. I was saving mine to top up with lemonade.
"Durr, where are we Mark? This car park's very technical, Trev, Where's the gate?"
Other Smelly’s are invited on any subsequent trips – runner, walker, cameraperson, etc etc.
Proposed events: (details in FRA handbook) High Cup Nick Causey Pike Coledale Horseshoe Coniston Anniversary Waltz
