    What a load of nonsense this thread is. XC or Fell, what is that supposed to mean. Personally I love them both, I am also from The South and am certainly not a soft southern shandy drinker, if such a thing exists! B.B stop being such a conceited, grandiose arse and if you have nothing to say which from what I read you rarely do, stop boring us with your stupid and ridiculous posts.

    The article referred to here has been roundly decried as lacking in supporting evidence. Although if I've identified the author correctly, he's in possibly the only cross country league where numbers are actually falling!
    I like the bit about fell races mostly being in summer in sunny weather so you can enjoy the views? Really? I though they were usually in torrential rain and knee deep mud

    What other misguided prejudices and hatred of people not from your background do you hold, I dread to think. There was a forum destroyer on here called Alwaysinjured a year or so ago, and you are far worse. By the way I read AW every week, and took the article with the pinch of salt it deserved.

    Big turn out of runners again for the highly competitive Gt Manchester xc ,nice to see so many top fell/mountain runners in attendance ,a great mix of icy and shallow mud today - so dry feet a bonus for me ��.
    Always worth checking & double knotting yer laces ��.even the top runners make schoolboy errors .

    Hear, hear.

    The article in AW is bizarre in the extreme. No fell races in the winter, cross-country once a month: what is the man on? My club participates in two local cross-country leagues which plus the county league (Essex) and championship events gives 20-odd possible events between the beginning of October and the end of February. That means two races on some weekends. But I and some of my fellow club members have (or will have) also done three or four fell races in that period.
