British MV40 and LV40 Teams:<\/span>– “It was decided at an FRA Championship sub-committee that there should be a M50 Team and W40 Team championship for this year (2013). “
  That’s Medium Silent Valley and Yetholm : Long – Peris : Short – Blisco.
Plenty of time to get travel sorted for Ireland…..and get Yetholm entries in….<\/div>\n

Ireland Travel:-<\/span> Matt Hulley’s flights are  here<\/a> – and Greg is now on the same flight, etc – but who can share car hire? Please send through when anything is booked…<\/span>
Just a prize-giving night and no food this year?<\/p>\n

Brough Law, Carshare League 2. results.<\/a>  <\/span>A long day out, but well worth the visit. Brough Law is in the Cheviots, and put out by the Kielder Blast organiser. This was an excellent AS course, excellent lonely valley venue. It began with a 10metre dash, and spread
\nout up a wide sharp hill. Then lots of good grassy running, enough ups and
\ndowns, and a shifting grassy finish. About 5 miles, and another hill could
\neasily have been slipped in, whilst still AS. A much better place to be running than within Kielder forest. Gavin Bland was first home, clearly running well with Edale coming up. Don’t worry, we gave him enough rubbish advice which can stuff Borrowdale’s chances….
   We then slipped around to Yetholm to plod around the British Championship course. <\/p>\n

. Another
\nexcellent course. Cold and wintry, we needed one shelter behind a wall to escape the elements. Not hard
\nto navigate, though if the clag is down, things could go wrong. But a hard
\ncourse, as it should be. A roller coaster first half, once you get up , over the
\ntop and lose lots of height.Four times. A very sapping climb up the last hill to half-way,
\nsomehow sinking into marshy grassy stuff high on a hillside. Then a fast second
\nhalf, which goes on and has lots of running, but with a sharp hill near the
\nend.
We’d met the organiser earlier, and he was waiting for us at the end. No
\nentry limit, just a closing date.  If you want a .gpx file of Willy’s track, drop him an calendar@dpfr.org.uk

Off goes the Carshare League organiser….<\/p>\n

Brown Knoll<\/span> – “A select bunch of hardy souls turned out for the inaugural running of Brown
\nKnoll the hard way. There was much debate on the start line about the best route
\nfrom the start to Mam Nick. That turned out to be the most straight forward bit.
\nDriving snow and low cloud made for some interesting navigation. Rich Bradbury
\ntook the scenic route to Brown Knoll – having left his compass behind. Very
\npleasant tussock trotting was found on the sweeping decent into Pennine
\nterritory to the west. There was a grim climb into the wind back over into the
\nhead of the Edale valley. Where Lewis got too casual with his map reading and
\nvisited an extra unofficial control before the hard climb up to Lords Seat, it
\nwas all wrapped up with the fun descent back to Odin mine off Mam Tor. Matt
\nHulley set off in his traditional late fashion and had very little idea about
\nwhere he went. Tim Rippon went for a wander somewhere out on the course and so
\nenabled some of the slower members to get in a valued head to head victory. He
\nalso has a passion for a very direct line off Mam Tor – the geologist at the
\nbottom of the face were less passionate about his line through the unstable
\ndebris. A very worth while course. Hopefully the race will see the light of day
\n(or torches) again. ” – from Lewis…<\/p>\n

Haworth Hobble – Wuthering Hike:<\/span>–  results<\/a>. A bit grim? But some folk clearly enjoyed it so much they finished twice, as T Atkin and P Kenny finished 256th and later 295th. Can you help, please?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Absent Friends:-<\/span> “Jon Morgan is out in the Alps for the winter ski mountaineering racing. Here are
\na few choice bits: Jon gets a photo <\/a>of himself in the French
\nnewspapers, and also Es is lurking beside…:Here <\/a>are his blog postings for his
\nsponsor RAB: for the technically minded, there are
\nsome interesting bits in the Blog about basic blood & oxygen physiology
\nwhich gives some context to the numbers, and what you might view as the
\nprivilege of athletic capability.”<\/p>\n
