SHAP was the highest start point used for this year’s Lakeland Lanequests and controls were scattered among a lattice of lanes, requiring careful route selection.

Endmoor rider David Hollingham was the only rider in the solo men’s race who visited all the controls within the set time for a winning score of 300 points, from Ray Morriss (Windermere) 290, and David Heffernan (Ulverston).

Anne Plant (Pennington) was again first solo woman, with 270 points, from Jo Cleary (Heversham) and Stephenie Jones both with 250, and Jenny Stuart (Kendal) on 240.

Bryony Halcrow, the 2010 junior champion, rode well for a top score of 242, followed by Peter Thompson 210.

Generation pairs entry Matt and Katie Woods repeated last week’s win with 250 points, from Stuart Walker and Parris Huitson in second on 234, and Jack Smith and James Smit on 220.

The adults pairs/3’s honours went to Mike Brooks and Andy Beck again with 268 from Andrew and Sarah Crozier on 262, followed by Graham Clark and Martin Spetch, 236.
