Wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the races section. Feel free to move it!
Short version: I'm thinking of making this my first fell race. Good idea?
Long version: I've done a lot of trail running in the South and I'm doing my second marathon in London in a few weeks time. I want to start fell running, but logistics make it hard. Alwinton attracts because I'm going to be in Northumberland for a week then. The distance is something I feel relatively comfortable with and although a B is a lot more climb than I'm used to in a race, at least it's not an A!
My main concerns are navigation and the terrain being extremely technical. I'm not a total neophyte when it comes to the hills. I've been on my share of walking holidays and done limited running when there.
Has anyone done the Alwinton race? Anything that should really put me off?
