No piccies of me again this time. Maybe I need to run faster or do more races. However, I do feature in the results. :cool::cool:
Force of habit makes me scan the race results, even though I can't run any more. So, it was quite a surprise to find my name there winning a category position in a Rab Mini MM!!
I've just read the 'Hypothermia...First Hand' article and I think it really demonstrates how easy it is to end up in that situation. Being personal accounts they hit home a bit more than the chain of disaster scenario. I'd like to think that those accounts along with Ben's on his blog are the kind of thing that will come to the forefront of my mind when I'm in a similar situation and thinking 'should I put my gloves and waterproof on now or should I press on until the next climb and see if I warm up?'
A very worthwhile article.
I must admit I laughed like a horse when I read the bit about the 8 jelly babies.Also being a lone open water swimmer in silly temperatures I like to be manly:eek:Quote:

So ,is the moral scoff at your peril?
new one arrived. looks a bumper issue. Good job I got a photo in the last one and our lass has made this one!
Agreed! First impressions it looks like a bumper edition with some varied articles. Looking forward to the article on the graphics of Macc' Harrier Graham Brown and his poster designs. Hopefully get my teeth into it properly over the weekend.
On a personal note, reet' chuffed to get a couple of pics printed from Shutlingsloe fell race, in particular getting a full pager inside the back leaf. Shame it's been miss-credited, but I can't take too much away from the sterling work the editors do to get Fellrunner out to such a high standard.
Props to all involved yet again!
Always enjoy getting the fellrunner.
Great to see the picture of Jasmin on the front cover.
Really enjoyed reading her accounts of the BG and Ramsay Round.
Also Nicky Spinks write up of her double BG was a great read.
Brillaint inspiring stuff.
Would anyone have a copy of the Summer 2015 and Autumn 2015 editions that they have read and no longer need to keep? I have inadvertently throw my copies out and would be very appreciative if anyone could help out. I will gladly pay for any packaging and postage costs.
Don't wish to be picky but, page 69,the backdrop is unlikely to be Everest,looks like Amadablum from the south,my friends have that photo on there wall Minus Jack of cours.
I wouldn't know... but the shot was originally included in The Fellrunner January 1990 (p13) - see website - with the legend "...at Tengboche with views of Everest" and credited to Bob Howard so if it isn't Everest it has taken 26 years for anyone to point this out.;)Quote:

just got my Xmas edition, some cracking photos, even better than usual IMO.
Really enjoying mine too. Went straight for the Rob Jebb BGR article. Thanks to everyone who puts it all together.
I was on the point of cancelling my membership until sat down and started reading the mag so maybe I will stay a member for another year
I enjoyed that article too. It was interesting to learn that others who were about to embark on a BG that day decided to call it off due to the awfull weather conditions. Would he break the record if he did it again in good conditions?Quote:

I supported someone that day who had terrible conditions on leg 1 (midnight start) but ideal after that. Rob Jebb, Scoffer + ANO overtook us just after Red Pike. They were last seen running up Pillar which caused one of our team to say " they are taking the p*** now and doing hill reps". It was a very impressive display. Our contender completed in 21.45 including a swift half at the Swinside InnQuote:

The editor should either provide captions, or else he should announce a "Name that fell" competition!

Over the last 15 years I have been humbly grateful that five patient editors have published over 70 items of mine in The Fellrunner and I suggest that the only "should" that should be applied to any editor is that all FRA members should be grateful that people are still willing to take on this arduous, time consuming, and - having to deal with authors like you and me - often thankless task!

Oh dear, I "should" have remembered to put one of these :p next to the word "should".Quote:

I'd go with the 'Name that fell' competition ~ with beer on offer as prizes :cool:
I think the piccie on p10 is a toughie. Fairly featureless to say the least.Quote:

Is anyone still waiting for theirs? I got the handbook a while back but haven't clapped eyes on the magazine yet.
We got ours quite a while ago now, over 10 days ago
Yep, just like you Nick, I'm still waiting ��Quote:

I've paid the money and Ex has received the Mag and Fixture list.:mad:
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 bet that rankles a bit.Quote:

Big THANKS again to Charmian for her speedy action's. x
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.
