Reference Guide

[Wheeze]

The solution is even simpler than posting links here. Just join the FRA and they will send you a nice little book (remember them?) with all this stuff in it that you can read even when your internet is down or when Mummy and Daddy have sent you to bed early.

Does this forum really need 'The Grump'?

No

Agreed and get the WFRA calender too

I think the Grump's idea to have a Reference Guide as a resource for beginners was a good one

I'm sure I saw him post the word Enjoy earlier too after helping someone

I loathe that bloody american Enjoy! Grrrrrrrrr, its so annoying

'Have a good 'un' or simply, 'have fun', seem preferable to me TG

Your sincerity was not being questioned

Hello. I've read all the links above, and nicked CL's copy of the FRA handbook, but I still can't tell whether I'm allowed to enter fell races?? I've been sumoning up the courage to ask for ages but you're all scaring me off. I've missed the first championship race of the season and thios lack of information is costing me points. I'm sure a goat could outrun some of those old nags, I mean ponies that hang around down the pub.

Will somebody please just tell me what the rules are???

6.Carry the right kit as specified in the FRA Calendar.

Oh silly me! Much easier to just ask on the Forum than bother with all that palaver.

But it's not the kit as specified in the FRA calendar, it's the kit as specified by the organiser. It was discussed in the equipment threads a week or two back where an organiser was being a bit picky about what kit was required. Yet if you look at the race details, nothing is detailed, either in the FRA calendar, or on the organising clubs website. This was not an AM or AL race so nothing is mandatory according to FRA rules.

Yes but what counts as waterproof? I have a 'rainmate' see through hood with blue flowers on it. Does this count as a hood?
What has the Flat Roof Alliance got to do with it?
