Hello! I’m based in Newbury... I’ve thought about the BGR in the past and did legs 3+4 in a day last summer. I’ve done most of the other legs except...

My chilblains are very itchy. They are worse than ever this winter. Too much running in the snow. ❄️ ❄️

One case reported on Orkney yesterday.

Poked my head outside today and decided it wasn't good conditions for a 5km attempt. So put on the Scott RC's and headed off to the (very wet) local...

I suspect that there will be some races early summer but I think the big problem for the traditional Fell Race is that once the official go ahead is...

I'm quite liking my soil shakers. Very padded and comfy with excellent grip for the mud and slush at this time of year. Too heavy to be a race shoe,...

It's a tough one to call. So many variables. I'll say September 6th.

Mountain equipment used to make one as well, maybe called the xero.... Ba-ba - do you use bubble wrap/balloon bed/modern thermarest? I...
