Dark Peak Road Runners:- <\/font>our road correspondent sends:- \u201cOne of my former Road Running Club mates came 3rd in Stafford Half last weekend and was beaten by a guy called Rob Little ‘who normally runs XC or fells’.  Rob came 2nd in a big race in 1:12 mins.  Almost 5 mins 30s per mile pace!  Don’t think he was wearing sandals this time………….\u201d <\/p>\n

Wolf\u2019s Pit<\/font>:- \u201c<\/font>The inaugural Nottinghamshire Fell Running Championship was held within the host race of Wolf’s Pit 20th March. Mark Salkild was open silver behind winner Paul Butcher of Southwell Running Club and Mark claimed the V50 gold, with Dicky Wilkinson 14th and Trevor Milner 26th. These 3 DPFR runners finished as 5th team, the winning team being Southwell Running Club.\u201d<\/p>\n

Middlefell \u2013 Wasdale. Steve Matthews was over that side, 22nd in 1.09. <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>Yr Aran \u2013 Bala. Results.<\/a> <\/font>A pre-run for the British Championship race, 9th July, for which entries can go in<\/font>\u2026. 
I\u2019m told – \u201c<\/font>The course is out and back, the ridge along the top has some rocky\/bouldery stuff underfoot which is moderately tricky on the way back down.  The last mile or so is very fast.  No route-finding problems – there is a fence nearby – but there are a lot of crisscrossing paths so it is not so easy to keep on the optimum line.  \u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cNot considered  tough fell runners\u201d \u2013 the<\/font> Penistone paper, page 16<\/a> , <\/font><\/font>names and \u201cshames\u201d. Seems to me they\u2019ve not quite got it correct\u2026<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

New Fellrunner:-<\/font> loads to sift through, but looking at the preview of the FRA Relays, it doesn\u2019t look hopeful from that for the V50 Team category, or for the LV40 Team. A shame, as last year we won them both. Presumably Kettlewell will be far more popular and accessible than previous years at Ennerdale and Fife, and more clubs entering teams. We shall see what is forthcoming. <\/p>\n

Free Buffs<\/font> (except postage).  Ian was \u201c<\/font><\/span>sceptical at first but for the price of the postage \u00a32.95 they will send you a 3(Three) free "buffs", Can’t go wrong at that price.   details.<\/a> Mine arrived this morning, Bargain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wednesday (15th).  Don\u2019t forget \u2013 Mearley Clough entries should now be in the post   \u2013 with SAE. Use the FRA Entry Form<\/a> . This will fill up fast, so not hard to work out what will happen if we dawdle around.
This short and sharp, genuine classic AS. A gradual climbing run out up fields and farmer\u2019s lane, a path up along the stream, and blast up the side of Pendle. For those who know the Full Tour, it\u2019s the middle (2nd) of those last hard three climbs. Slip right over the clough top, and hurtle back down, legging it in down the lane and fields.
Similar to starting at the Odin Mine (Castleton). Run up the road, up the R side of Mam Tor face, round the top, down the other side and shift back down.

This is only a guide as to what may be involved, but you know what kind of training to be slotting in\u2026<\/font><\/span> <\/p>\n
