AS part of Chorley Harriers' Grand Prix, a good pack of runners turned out for the Lostock 6 at the weekend.

Winter Hill Fell Race - Sunday February 28.

Some 100 runners turned out for this grade 'A' fell race. Although the weather was fine to start, as soon as the rain came, conditions became unbearable.

Quite a number of runners failed to complete the 11-mile course. It consists of nine check-points and goes past the Winter Hill transmitter.

To complete the course in under two hours is an achievement. Chorley Harriers' first three runners did just that. Taking part were: Alan Alty, Malc Christie, Pete Gillham, Ian Williams, Terry Walton, Dave Lee, John Lovick and Andy Lowe.
