Mention the “Stoop” and 2 things spring to mind, Santa Hats and Bogs. Sunday’s Stoop Fell Race did not disappoint as the quarry was packed with Fell Running’s future talent as the juniors joined in the muddy fun. James Duffy was 1st Under 10 whilst Eilo Beesley had a good solid run to place 7th boy, with team mate Alex Duffield only 10 seconds behind as 10th Under 12. There were good runs from Calder Valley’s juniors in the various age groups including the Blacker clan of Billy, Beth and Molly, Lucas Greenwood, Patrick Casey, Olivia Sygle, Cherry Sygle, Tom Owen and Keir Taylor.  Merry Christmas from everyone at Calder Valley Fell Runners – here’s to another fantastic year on the fells in 2016.
