Just three weeks to go until the inaugural race in the Carshare League – Long Mynd Valleys. Carshare himself will, regrettably, be off doing family things on the continent, but proclaims the race “excellent”. Captain Harmer, by contrast, declares it “not a proper fell race; all grass and running”. And at 11.5miles (but 4500 ft), it’s almost within ex-Chairman Moore’s boredom threshold … so something for everyone, I’m sure you’ll agree.
Anyway, I’m driving out and back on the day, and so’s young Lewis – so hopefully we can fill at least a couple of cars. Expressions of interest to calendar@dpfr.org.uk or via carshare comments. Route notes here and a map here
Carshare advises that anyone wanting to make a weekend of it should consider the “Shropshire Weekend” taking in the AS
Titterstone Clee race on the Saturday.
Note also that anyone looking at doing #2 – Brough Law in the Cheviots on Sun 10th March – has the opportunity to recce Yetholm (#6 and the Scottish British Champs counter this year) the same afternoon. I’m again planning to travel up to this one, probably making a whole weekend of it this time, with a potter up the Cheviot on the Saturday.
And finally, a heads up that entries are now open for #4 Teenager with Altitude here – field limited to 75, I think, so get your entry in now.
