Another long race of 23k saw several Harriers go over to the Peak District to run the Mickleden Straddle. Much of the race follows stony paths but there are deep bogs too!
Andrew Harrison was 32nd in 2hrs 03.07 and David Parkington was just behind in 2:03.23.
Alun Beckett was 40th, John Rainford 47th and John Griffiths 56th
Alan Martin finished in 2:29.35, Michael McLoughlin in 2:30.29 and Roy Parkinson in 2:31.52.
Roger Taylor and Jim Doherty were also running, Doherty just missing to finish in under 3 hours. Vicki Sherington in her first really long race recorded 3:10.09
