#5 Pendle Cloughs, Sat 4th May @ 11am – entry on the day Next up is Pendle Cloughs. Carshare concedes … “yes, totally contrived, but very good running, an excellent trip out” … and it’s my birthday too, so barring accident at the Fellsman, a pass out is guaranteed. Lots Read more
Congratulations to Rhys and Judith on their victories yesterday at #4 Teenager with Altitude – with Rhys picking up the first outright victory of the league on his way to a beer festival somewhere. Judith and Spyke appear to have adopted a team-tag approach to the league, which may work Read more

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 Read more
By very popular demand (Messrs Harmer and Westgate seem especially keen, but I know Rob C and Lewis will take particular delight also), I offer the first in an occasional series of “spot the control points” race tracks. Tim T’s birthday race started and finished from the Sportsman (my watch Read more
