High Cup Nick Fell Race

The fell runners were out in force on Saturday 27 February at the 9th Dufton High Cup Nick Fell Race in the Cumbrian pennines. The race passes from Dufton Village Hall, along High Cup Gill, climbs up to the ‘nick’ and returns along the valley shoulder to Dufton.

First home for Ripon over the 9.4 mile course with 1,600 foot of ascent was Paul Walker in 1 hour 24 minutes. Close behind was Gary Bastow (1:28), followed by Martin Gabriel (1:29).

New member Sally Houghton made a great impression in her first race in Ripon colours with an impressive 1 hour 30 minute. Mike Pennock finished in 1:50 with John Bull back in at 2:05.
