Battle of the Bands

On Sunday 29th June, the day following The Humph's Hilly Half, for the second year running Norm & Ali Lane hosted the Battle of the Bands and the Hill Barn Relays.

The relay race is a tough cross country 2 miles (well, just short of!) sprint.  Teams comprised one male and one female.

The fastest man on the day, Tim Dalton, was like lightning, with a time of a minute quicker than anyone else in 7:35.  Unfortunately his partner, Ali Lane, left him too much to catch up to win the race.  That honour went to the team of Steph Lane (again!) whose legs were obviously not as tired as her mum's as she was fastest female and Tom Jess, who were 20 seconds clear at the finish in 18:27 total.  A very strong second pair were Alistair Lockey and Brittany Teague in 18:47, followed by Sarah Harper and Andy Chapple in 3rd 19:02 and 1st Vets team.

1st Under 20s were Alice Thomas and Lee Knowles, 1st Under 16s Beth Wynn and Lewis Gray, 1st husband and wife Dennis and Lucy Walmsley 20:09, 1st Mother and Son Niamh and Kieren Shoemark 22:19 and oldest mixed team Mick Morris and Barbara Thomas 25:38.

The Fun Run was won by Lee Knowles, with first female Beth Wynn.
