SROC success at the LDMT (La Sportiva Lake District Mountain Trial)

SROC has strong connections with the Lake District Mountain Trial, the original navigational fell race. In the very first race in 1952 from the Old Dungeon Ghyll, Maurice Collett was 2nd and Maurice Dean was 4th. David and Miriam Rosen are currently the race organisers.


Last year should have been the 60th Trial, but the race had to be cancelled due to appalling weather. So this year was the 60th running of the Trial and Maurice Dean (SROC) was there to present the prizes. The courses started from Patterdale and were on the Helvellyn range. The tops were shrouded in mist which was an advantage for the orienteers.

SROC had eight successful finishers this year. The courses were particularly tough ad runners covered much more than the stated distances - Miriam's route was actually 26.7km
