Peak Raid Anytime News Update 16/06/2026
Beautiful trails around Dale Dike and Agden Reservoirs, woodland paths through White Lee Moor and the varied complex landscape of Canyards Hills, Race 3 offers routes of richly contrasting terrain.
It’s always great to get feedback and news of good deeds from competitors. On a recent outing Guy Lingford’s navigational error proved to be good luck for one of the locals.
Coming across a sheep which was tangled up in fencing and appeared dead, a flick of its ears confirmed life. Guy successfully wrestled and untangled the animal from the barbed wire to see it stagger down the slope looking happier than it did five minutes earlier!
Andy Bell commented on the course, ” What a fantastic area with lots of variety and challenge. The complex area around Control 40 (Canyards Hills) and the forest on the opposite side of the road (White Lee Moor), were worlds apart – genius!
Current combined leaderboard positions today are:
Top Spot Women: Sarah Lilleman, Lucy Wiegand and Bronwen Doyle
Top Spot Men: David Pettit, Matthew Pink and Matty Brennan
Other notable age group leaders: M65+ Andy Bell 4th and Guy Lingford 5th, M70+ Bill Handley 9th, W60+ Emily Sanders 31st, W70+Jill Davies 30th
