Yorkshire Television's 1976 Lifestyle programme follows TV Reporter Roger Greenwood as he tackles the gruelling, 22 mile Three Peaks Race in the Yorkshire Dales.
Brilliant footage!!my father was in this actual race and also following year,I was 8 years old and found watching this bring back happy memories,thankyou
20 years ago bumped into Harry Walker of Blackburn harriers at the Burnsal fell race. He was so humble and an absolute gentleman. He ran a 20 mile round trip training run-to pendle hill climbed the steps 6 times during. Awesome.
I wish weekend tv was still like this. Fantastic. With no feed stations i know after 3+hours (for an athlete) you bonk and have nothing left in the tank!
A fantastic effort. As someone who has just completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks I know the course has been modified and improved greatly. In those days there were no paving stones to aid you and the ascent and descent as well as the course generally would have been much tougher than it is today.
Jonathan. I hope this message reaches you soon. Firstly, my condolences to you, your brothers and mum. I have a letter I want to send to Susan and you all. Is ‘Stoneleigh’ still the correct address all these years on? If not I shall have to change the envelope and send it c/o Goods of Otley. Vernon
Hi Vernon. Thanks for your kind message and also those on X. Stoneleigh is no longer the correct address. Let me try and get the new address to you somehow…
