Captain Cook looks out over Skyrac quartet
Races over the North York Moors can be a bit of the same old thing but the 12-mile Gisborough Moors fell-race does have the attraction of running past the impressive monument erected in 1827 on Easby Moor in honour of Captain James Cook and a short sharp climb up the well known Roseberry Topping.
Normally the race is a bit of a benefit for host club North York Moors AC, who seem to make up most of the runners, but a quartet from Skyrac did venture north last Sunday leaving the teeming rain of Guiseley for a delightful blue sky.
Race winner was Charles Stead (Northumberland Fell Runners) and the first back for Skyrac was Martin Farrar in 1hr 44min 53sec with Robert Pritchard a couple of minutes behind.
Graham Breeze was 61st in 1.50.09 but Duncan Asquith limped home with calf problems.
