Tom's Bransdale Fell Race is held in memory of Tom Watson, a Rural Surveyor for the National Trust, a runner for York Knavesmire Harriers and co-founder of the race.
Got a pass out from the wife while on hols in Scarborough to drive out to remote Bransdale , in the back end of beyond of the Yorkshire moors. Great 7.5mile race over the rolling hills on a lovely cool summers evening. Ran the whole second half of the race on my own as the field was well spread out, so I was running blind looking for the tape & footprints. The sound of drums humming in the valley to the finish was like a Willow-the-Wisp as one final field only lead to another. A fine spread of cakes & two Dudes on the drums made it a real laid back cool down. The only bad thing was the traffic on the Pickering road, it was shocking, so in my true style I turned up last minute to run down the track, get changed, grab a number off the table & play catch up as the whole field was off & gone.
