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
