What is fell running to you?

[wharfeego]

...I think Brett should add a 'Wilderness Exploring' thread category so as to give me a corner of the forum where I can feel more at at home. What do you think?...

I feel at home on your "Today's Wildlife Encounter" thread Stolly.
For me fellrunning's about being in an environment where I can be at one with nature.
I do like the odd race every now and then, but to be out on the fells on yer own, without anybody else "spoiling it", is what it's all about.
I think there are a lot of racers who just don't appreciate what fellrunning's all about.
When I see how some people treat the fells I wonder why they bother, they might as well be in any other crowd, at a football match for instance.
When it comes to the hills and dales I'm a selfish b4st4rd, happy to be without other human contact.
Bring on the "Wilderness Exploring" section.
