Three Peaks Fell Race, Thank You

Hello 3 Peaks RAYNETeers,

Dropping you a line to say thank you to everyone for your hard work on Saturday helping to make the RAYNET cover of the Three Peaks Fell Race successful. All told we had 39 operators involved in the event across a whole variety of tasks, each and everyone of you played a part in making it successful overall.

On the day the Race Director thanked me for RAYNET’s efforts and asked that I extend his thanks to all of you. I’ve had no formal feedback yet, that will come after the ‘checkpoint leaders debrief meeting’ which I will attend, but informally a few of the race committee said they thought the RAYNET operation ran smoothly.

It was a warm day, in general times were a bit slower, but the warm conditions meant we were able to extend cut off times slightly without putting hilltop marshals and RAYNET at risk.

As usual, if you have any feedback, please let me know.

Next year’s event will be on Saturday 24th April 2027 if you want to pop it in your calendar? Keep an eye out for another email from me soon about The Hodgdon Brothers’ Mountain Relay on 3rd October 2026.

Thanks again, 73 Mike

Yorkshire Three Peaks Fell Race 2025 thank you


Hello 3 Peaks RAYNETeers,

Now that we’ve had a week to charge the batteries, pack the masts away, dry the tent and wax the boots (that’s all of us, not just me), I’m now taking the opportunity to say thank you.

I really do want to thank every one of you for the help you gave last weekend for the RAYNET radio cover of the 70th Anniversary Yorkshire Three Peaks Fell Race. Between us we covered a whole variety of different positions and roles, everyone of them contributed in some way to the job done as a whole so we could not have done the good job without each and every one of you – so thank you again.

I left the campsite around noon on the Sunday after the event, by that time the Race Chairman, Race Director and Chief Marshall had all been across to see me and asked that I pass their thanks onto you all too. Below is the email I received at the start of the week from the Race Chair.

The lead marshals debrief meeting is happening via Teams this week and I’m taking part in that so please feel free to pass to me any feedback on the RAYNET cover and the event itself.

Next year’s event is Saturday 25th April 2026 – hope to see you there.

73 Mike
