| Saturday 16 January 12.30pm | Ashurst Beacon Race, Prince William Inn, Dalton, nr. Skelmersdale (GR 502705 on OS Sheet 108 - Liverpool) Important information from the race organiser concerning Ashurst Beacon Race (Lancs, 16/1/10) - "We have just completed a course inspection for the Ashurst Beacon race. Our hope was that the overnight rain, and current thaw would have cleared the ice from the course. Unfortunately this has not happened to the extent where racing would be safe. Many long sections of the route are completely ice-covered, and where these are restricted in width due to fences etc there is no alternative safe way to walk the course, let alone race on it. For example. the ascent to the Wiggin Tree is almost impossible. The descents are all quite dangerous. The pub car park is also still covered in 2 inches of snow/ice. Regrettably we have had to decide to POSTPONE the race. The pub will still be open, and serving food and showing the football if you are short of something to do! Instead we will hold it on Wednesday 28th April starting at 7.00pm, all other things remain the same, except hopefully the weather will be better!!" 5.9 miles, 950 feet of ascent. 2010 entry fees: £3 on the day only Contact: Andy Quickfall - tel. 01257 450339 - Email 2002 - 2003 - 2004 - 2005 - 2006 - 2007 - 2008 - 2009 |
