Handbook only for me too guys.
Not surprised I'm still waiting!
I've paid the money and Ex has received the Mag and Fixture list.
Nothing changes in this world.
I've now had to re-enter.
Arr well, water under the bridge, moving on slowly.
Be a nice surprise when it comes
I had been thinking recently that it was a long time since a Fellrunner magazine had dropped through my letterbox. And now, here it is.
I was surprised to learn that Pete Bland Sports only started in 1981. I remember that at the Carnethy Hill Race in 1978 I decided to find out how I could do more of this running up and down hills. I was pointed in the direction of the FRA Membership Secretary, a bloke called Pete Bland. I thought that even then he was selling shoes out of the back of an estate car, but maybe my memory of those distant times is not so accurate.
Arrived yesterday
Thanks to everyone who contributed article and the editor and team who make it happen.
Really enjoyed this one. The Malcolm Patterson took me back to my starting years in the sport. Reading all those names brought on a warm nostalgic glow! And, yes, I was surprised that the 'legendary' Pete Blands had only been around for a few short years before I got going in 87.

Every page of the magazine has "THE FELLRUNNER SPRING 2017" at the bottom. But I have just noticed that there is an exception: below the double-page spread (p.54-55) with one of Mossienet's pictures from the Trigger race, it says "THE FELLRUNNER WINTER 2016". A deliberate mistake, surely?
On a different matter from the magazine: I think the "Quote of the Year" award goes to Ann-Marie Jones:
"I am an old lady and want to take things at a comfortable pace."
Well, Ann-Marie, your pace isn't very comfortable for me; although I suppose I can say that I was less than 4 minutes slower than a World Champion at Mount Famine.
Seems a while since the last Fellruner magazine, must be on its way soon.
