Hello Folks… Sorry for the delay in making this decision but finally after some good discussions the decision has been made to move the Snake check point from the pub, to Lady Clough approx 100m up the path below Birchin Clough SK 1080 9145. This means that the route will Read more
As our annual dinner rapidly approaches focus turns to one of the highlights of the evening, notably the awarding of the Pertex Trophy. Tradition dictates that the Pertex Trophy, awarded to the club member who has demonstrated complete and utter incompetence on the fells during the year, is passed on Read more
Despite seemingly missing a 'star' or few, the assembled crack DPFR open team put in an absolutely quality performance to get bronze medals on Sunday. The race began with a long pairs legs over to West Lomond, where Oli Johnson and new recruit Ralph Street, were well placed in Read more
