Having been denied the chance to 'fell' race on the Saturday due to being called up to complete the 'B' team at the Northern Road Relays, I was scouting around on Saturday evening for a suitable fix for the weekend.
Well this one fitted the bill. Organised by the Fat Boys Running Club (yep, seriously!) Despite the fact that all the car parking attendants were directing traffic with pints of beer in hand we all ended up in neat rows. Hathersage was looking it's best in the sunshine.
A good route, well marshalled and ear marked as a contender as suitable for a first 'fell race'. A couple of my 'B' team mates from the day before have expressed an interest in having a go at fell running.
All I have to do now is come up with something just as suitable that doesn't clash with road running and cross country fixtures. Shepherd Skyline's out as that clashes with XC relays, Dunnerdale's the day before XC league. So that leaves the Darwen Dasher one and Kirkbymoor. I've explained that the marshalls are a bit sparse on the later and there's no red&white tape to follow. So will see what they opt for.
Then again there is always ToP on the 23rd Nov. Would I be that cruel? Well they do run faster than me so shouldn't have a problem keeping up!!
