Three days to go to the inaugural Carshare
League – Long Mynd Valleys. ROs have requested full *waterproof* body cover, so be sure to pack it. We’re up to at least four cars and runners in double figures; a diverse crew, as one might imagine, with recent converts including the Pocket Rocket, a Munro record holder, the current Pertex holder, the captain of Totley’s women’s team (will need to reach a decision on the start line as to whether ringers can count in the team prize) and now, I’m delighted to report, a DP women’s captain too.
Please get in touch if you want to tag along – there’s space in cars from Sheffield, Hathersage and Derby now, and everybody’s welcome. Just calendar@dpfr.org.uk or use the comments link below.
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.

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.
