Angel View Run
Low Fell Running Club hosted their annual Angel View Run – roughly 10km on mixed terrain, it offers a good workout to runners and something different to a normal road race.
We had 7 runners taking part this year and it was Joe Green who led the Elswick charge with the rest featuring high in their age groups.
There was only 2 seconds separating John Rippon and Jude Nutt, John picking up a prize for 2nd old gadgie and Jude 2nd female overall and 1st in her category.
Andy Green finished just ahead of John finishing 1st v55 with David Walton behind Jude finishing 1st v65.
Nigel Hollier once again claimed first v70 and Lynne Michelson finished 4th in her age category.
