This was the third Parwich Panoramic Five Fell Race (PP5) with the best turnout so far, 112 runners. There were 24 clubs represented and 34 non affiliated runners. The overall winner was Chris Nicoll from Derby Tri Club and he just missed the course record by 37 seconds. 28 ladies ran, with the leading lady, Jo Bednall coming in 42nd overall and 70 veterans participated: aged 40+. Four juniors ran, all finishing in the top 78% of the field, with the fastest coming in 28th position aged only 11!

“Best fell race”, “Great course and views”, “Best marked course” and “Friendliest marshalls” were some of the comments that have been made about this year’s race – a tremendous amount of work was put into last night’s events, so these words are very much appreciated.

The event is co-ordinated by Graham J, with a very supportive band of workers, who deliver, fetch, carry, marshal, photograph etc etc.. So big thanks to everyone, who helped, ran and supported this fabulous evening. (Below is Graham busy organising his “troops”!)

The evening also saw the running of the Junior Fell Race which is organised independently by David Denton: another great success. For those youngsters who would like to do more running, just check out his website for more local runs.

Finally a quick plug for next year’s PP5, which is provisionally booked for Tuesday 7th August 2012 – tbc.

Another extremely successful Wakes Week is over and thanks must go to everyone who took part, spectators, participants, organisers and helpers, but without the hard work of the committee who meet, plan and co-ordinate the events we wouldn’t have this amazing week.  So special thanks to Kerry Allsop, Janet Bainbridge, Sandra Chadfield, Roger Cundy, Liz Edge, Denis Laycock, Alan & Barbara Lowes, Paula Lynam, Sharon Swindell and Karen Wigley.

Next year’s Wakes begins on Saturday 30th June 2012.

The rest of this article contains all the Wakes posts and is a shortcut to any event or photo you may have missed. (more…)

Cool for Cats

Thomas the pub cat is no mug. Whilst ‘normal’ cats would be content to sleep on the floor, this particular moggy has made himself at home in a traditional thatched cottage!

From his vantage point, he can survey The Sycamore’s customers as they relax in front of the pub. Woe betide any bird who may think this particular birdhouse was made for birds!

Demotion or promotion for Parwich band?

This week’s Stunner has a couple of Parwich references; on p.5 there is a photograph of Janet behind the bar, accompanying an article on the 2011 Good Beer Guide which includes an entry on the Sycamore Inn.

Also on p.7 there is a short article about this Saturday’s official opening of the new Memorial Hall, including a concert by the B52s.  Does this mean that the Highways Agency has down graded the band, or have they changed their name to fit in with the Memorial aspect of the Hall?
