Greg Rimmer is organising the Half Tour on 10th Feb and notes that whilst entries are looking healthy, Dark Peakers are ‘looking a little thin on the ground’ … so do get your entry off this week. Greg is also looking for a couple of volunteers to assist on the Read more
With the Calendar now in the very capable hands of Tim Rutter, the Carshare League soon to be outsourced, and Messrs Crawshaw and Walwyn lining up to take on FB administrator duties, there’s just one last role I’m keen to pass on to a willing volunteer – occasional DP roving Read more
It’s perhaps a further symptom of my general busyness that I’ve managed to overlook (and miss) the pre-entry deadline for next Sunday’s (7th Oct) Pentland Skyline (the last counter in this year’s Carshare League). Unless I can wangle a last minute entry therefore, Jim Paxman may very well be the Read more
Ben Robson is short of a couple of runners for his barrel race team this Saturday from Snake Inn at noon. An absolutely classic event – and got to be entertaining running with Ben. Ring/text him on 07712575840 if you fancy it

In less good news, Adam Perry’s attempt at the 24 hour Lakes’ record appears to have been thwarted in the last few hours by the weather . We’ll leave it for those in the know to report anon, but from the tracker and twitter, it appears he was still six Read more
Many congratulations to another of the quiet men of DP fell running, Richard Hunt, who slipped (more or less) under the radar last night to complete his anti-clockwise BG in 20 hours and 56 minutes, and in sometimes less than ideal conditions overnight we are hearing. Very richly deserved – Read more
Aficionados of Dark Peak News will know that the Dog’s ‘handler’ has been a tad busy over the past couple of years, resulting perhaps in less embarrassment of riches than might otherwise have been the case in the pages of the Dog’s Diary.
