Saturday 2nd June saw racers traveling up to the North East to the Silksworth Ski Centre in Sunderland.

Whilst the weather forecast had suggested warm dry weather originally, the winds changing and brought in drizzle and gusts from the North Sea.

After a delayed start due to some technical difficulties, the event got under way at 11.45 – the competitor field was slightly depleted due to the long bank holiday weekend, and some racers being away for a competition Landgraff.

Silksworth is a long slope, with four rollers and has the reputation for tough courses which often catch out many in the field.

Our only female racer was Eleanor Eaves in the U10’s, who managed a 1st place in her age group.

The boys were represented by Morgan Cooper, Jonathan Eaves, John & Robert Holmes,  Declan & Josef Huppach, Andrew Leeson, Joe Nickson & Callum Witts.

Despite the delay and the weather Callum finished 6th overall – 2nd in his age group. Declan managed a 1st in his age grouping, with Josef & Robert a 2nd & 3rd in their age group and after a hard days skiing we managed to get away for 4pm.
