Hello Fell Runners

I am a runner based in Morley, Leeds. I love running off road and especially love running up hills so it's a bit strange that despite almost 30 years on this planet, I've never actually got round to try fell running, although I've talked about "giving it a go" for about 15 of those years. So, enough talk: time for action!

I've never really run in races or with clubs but this (last?) year I ran in a few XC races with my university team (Sheffield) however as I am based in Leeds I have not found it easy to get to training. So I was wondering whether it would be better to join a club closer to home.

Also, would anybody be able to suggest some good locations around Leeds and/or Kirklees to start? My girlfriend and I enjoy off road running but at the moment only really go to Chevin, so I am hoping to get out and see a lot more.

Thanks!

Matthew
