Although it is not a long distance as fell racing goes, the challenge of Parwch Hill Race is the steep-sided Parwich Hill.
Above is J Pountain as he approaches the summit to win the trophy for first runner to the top of the Hill. Following are nearly all the runners near the top (apologies to the few that were missed):

Oddfellows Odes
Posted in 2011, Oddfellows, Photography, Posts of Note, Wakes on Saturday July 2, 2011| Leave a Comment »
OPENING ODE
Tune: “Stuttgart”
Outside the Sycamore Inn at the start of the parade
Brethren of our friendly Order,
Honour here asserts her sway;
All within her sacred border
Must her high command obey.
Join, Oddfellowship of brothers,
In this song of truth and love;
Leave disputes and strife to others-
We in harmony must move.
Honour to her courts invites us-
Worthy subjects let us prove;
Strong the chain that here unites us,
Linked with Friendship, Truth and Love.
In our hearts enshrined and cherished,
May these feelings ever bloom;
Falling not when life has perished,
Living still beyond the tomb.

Wakes through the years
Posted in 2010, History, People, Posts of Note, Wakes on Friday July 2, 2010| 1 Comment »
What an excellent idea and a great evening.
Denis L showed a cine film from the 1960s of Wakes and a slide show of Wakes photos taken over the last 100 years or so on the Parwich Film digital projector now installed in the new Hall. I did not count the audience but there must have been over 50 or 60 people there, sharing memories. The loudest responses were to some of the 60s and 70s fashions and Carnival costumes (Val K is very keen to ‘have a strong word’ with whoever handed over to Denis one particular photo).
The Carnival & Recreation Committee had laid on wine and cake, which was avidly consumed as people looked at more photographs that people had brought in and displayed on tables arround the hall. (more…)
