    club in NE

    Hi,

    Friend of family is currently deciding which Uni to go to. Decision will be based mainly on exam results but does anyone know what the fell running scene is like in Newcastle? They are going as a mature student and wouldnt necessarily want to just run with the student club.

    Any insider knowlege welcome!

    Hi Newbie,

    i'm based in Sunderland & run with Durham Fell Runners, who are quite keen and now have quite a few new and existing runners.

    However Northumberland Fell Runners are more Newcastle based and are a popular and well run club. If i was moving to the area I would probably seek these out first.

    Saltwell Harriers also have a few runners who turn out regularly on the fells (in fact they have a fell race on tonight at Stanhope), as do Tynedale and one or two others.

    Hope this helps.

    Northumberland fell runners cover Tyneside and Northumberland. We have all ranges of abilities from an england squad member, british champs contenders and mid pack plodders like myself.
