for map for start location, go to the bottom of the hill and then turn right

the gate, the start of the adult club handicap will be just before the gate, please do not congregate in front of the Lodge.

We need 8-10 volunteers, If
you can volunteer please email [email protected]
Please meet at the bottom of Goodrick Lane (Eccup Reservoir)
In the Club Handicap, runners are allocated
start times based on recent "form" and it is the handicapper's
objective for everyone to finish at the same time (except those who've recently
won the club handicap, they get an extra penalty.
Please arrive for 6:45pm, see if your name is
on a sheet pinned up on the fence, if it is, you will find your start time on
it, if not, see Sue Sunderland or Paul Sanderson and tell them your recent or
estimated 5k or 10k time and they will calculate your start time. The cup can
only be won by someone with their name and time on the list.
Grand Prix points are awarded based on "chip"
time.

Junior Races 1 July
Eccup is on 1 July, details and entries via www.racebest.com .

two races in this offer but we have no way of paying these fees on your behalf

due this coming September.

Valley
Striders Navigation Improvers Session - Tuesday 10 July
Wells Road, Ilkley,
where it meets the moor. Meet on the open
ground just above the paddling pool.
There's lots of parking in the Darwin Gardens
car park. https://www.darwingardens.org.uk/location
Meet at 18:45, ready to start at 19:00
Bring a compass if possible (map will be
supplied). If you need to borrow one,
please let Mick or Simon know.
We will be crossing rough ground so
fell/trail shoes would be useful but not essential
People attending the first session are very
welcome but you don't need to have done, as long as you have used an OS map and
compass before - even if you are a little 'rusty'!
We will use some practical exercises to
cover; bearings, contours and contour features, distances on the ground, grid
references and navigation strategies
If you would like to attend please [email protected] or join the event on Facebook.
To make sure everyone gets the support they
need, we will limit the numbers for this session to 12. However, if popular, we are more than happy
to put on another session later in the year.

This week it was about the Meanwood Valley Trail. It didn't mention Valley Striders but did
mention the tunnel under the Ring Road and the Seven Arches aqueduct, to be
featured in the Meanwood Valley Trail Race that Valley Striders are organising
on 15 September. The program is
available on internet at https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p069m246,

Meanwood
Trail Race - help needed (from Steph)
We are hosting the Meanwood Valley Trail Race
this year, this was a successful event which has had a
break for the last three years.
The race will be on Saturday 15th September.
It's a tricky course in terms of navigation and therefore we need at least 70
volunteers.
Please can you email [email protected] if you
can help.
Thanks
Steph

Steph emailed "A great day out for
Valley Striders at Pudsey 10k, after the issues with the timing due to a
technical difficulty (caused by someone lying on the computer cable after the
race) the VS ladies took team prize and a few of the age category prizes were
also won. Most important thing is the the guy on the
cable was fine, think he'd just pushed it hard on the sprint finish"
Ultras

Ian Sanderson has supplied some race results
