More BL success stories: Northern Fells Running Club
Report from Natalie:
Three Border Liners recently cross fertilized and competed in the Northern Fells Running Clubs Fell races on Border Liners home turf.
In the 23 mile Old Crown Round, Karen Parker was 3rd lady overall and 1st WV50.
In the 7 mile Fellside race Raymond Wren was 1st MV70 closely followed by team mate Chris Lates.
It was great to see BL members competing in both these events and supporting Northern Fells Running Club.

BL has a sprint orienteering World Champion in Christine Kiddier, who won Women's 65 at the World Masters Orienteering Championships in Riga, Latvia in early July. It was a slightly hollow victory as almost all classes were voided due to a locked doorway, so no medals were awarded, instead a flower ceremony was held.
