Great read FR-ED, I'm trying to be disciplined and not to read it all in one go...
A) Mountain running (EA/UKA)1
B) Champs (County/English/Brit)2
C) Skills (nav/fitness/physio/teck etc.)3
D) Results (big section at the end)3
E) Long distance epics 3
F) Youngsters (U18)1
G) Politics (opinion)2
H) Anything else .......
On P17 the runner captioned Paul Cornforth is actually Paul 'Crabby' Crabtree.
Luke Appleyard (Wharfedale)- quick on the dissent
Thanks Mr Brightside, as it happens we've already fessed up to this (thanks AH): post 14 on the
New Fell Runner! thread, I take your point IDP/OB1 more than one thread ends in a tangle.
btw further cockup over the page on 18, who's no.21? As Will B pointed out it's not Adam Perry, he's running into the finish with the late Darren Holloway on p28.
Any more for any more? There's only just over 100k words to sift here, Gwaarn : )
Simon Harding is in the picture that is captioned Adam Perry.
I've always enjoyed the one-off short race reports written by people. Alistair Dunn's report on Muker Show and Allan Greenwood's on Causey Pike for example, obviously these rely on us to write them and not on the editor to publish them necessarily.

I thought the latest Fellrunner was excellent - I'd forgotten all about it so it was a nice surprise when it arrived! A seamless transfer of editorship I would say. The content must reflect what is submitted, and if there seems to be a bit of a bias towards long distance stuff and mountain running, so be it. It's all interesting, and much of it well-written. I have always thought it a bit of a shame that spelling and grammatical errors don't get edited out, but given that presumably all involved are doing it in their spare time I think we can excuse that. And I must agree with previous posters that in this internet age an actual physical magazine, that you can hold in your hand and read where you like, is nice to have. So I say three cheers for the new team and long live The Fellrunner.

Big thanks to Dave Weatherhead, Barbara Carney and helpers for their massive effort in canvassing and compiling reports and results for The Fellrunner Reports and Results section. FR-ED just typesets the text, sprinkles the layout with photos from our generous snappers and slots in the pages. There are guidelines on format and length. I'm not sure why 'ladies' results are just an addendum and such quaint language is used (women anyone?).
Sad to say but reports and results from important Champ races have not been submitted lately and while new 'Mr Stats' Ian Hartman did a great job rounding up I agree with Mr Brightside, you can't beat a report 'written by people' – who were there. Maybe they are punting them up to the website? these don't reach the mag as yet. Please send to Dave direct, contact details in the mag. Ink sticks on paper; bits fall off chips : )
