I've finally found time to start the latest edition of Fellrunner, and was pleased to see Mr B and Graham's excellent articles.
Graham, nice to see your favourite word getting an outing. I had just a few days earlier introduced sprezzatura while discussing magicians and sleight of hand.
Mr B, next time I'm lost in a race I can tell myself I'm doing it to build character having read your article.
Well thank you.Quote:

Although surely it should be in the "fellracer" section of the mag...?!?
Issue number 135 has come through my letterbox. New editor, new design. But not all the contributors are new; Graham Breeze is in, as usual. Llani Boy also has an article, and is that a photo of Mr Brightside's greatest moment in the double-page spread on pages 112/113?
Please ignore the b****x in my second sentence above. I'm not sure why I thought the new design must have meant that the editor was new. Anyway, for what it's worth, I do rather like the new design.Quote:

I think there is a mathematical word for that sort of curve. Gaussian?
The three longest serving editors are Neil Denby (for almost ten years), Dave Jones and Britta. Two issues had one-off editors which distorted the trend.
Looking good so far after a dip in and I'm glad there isn't any print on top of photos which I found difficult to read.
Not forgetting GeoffB's article on the Arran Mountain Marathon.Quote:

Just called home for a brew and the postman was delivering The Fellrunner.
Perfect timimg :cool:
Mines arrived, lots of long distance again. The gadger on the front cover looks to have had a brush with some gorse.
Gutted that you are not the star again this edition! But as the great man says - every one has their 15 minutes of fame.Quote:

Most interesting to me was the memorial piece on Bill Teasdale, both of Mr Breeze's articles, and the change in format of the British Champs.
Of the long-distance articles, i did quite enjoy the one on the breaking of the 24hr record.
Managed to see my name slip in there (well down towards the bottom of the results on the inter-counties report).
I agree. The first thing I read was the obituary by Roger Ingham MBE on Bill Teasdale MBE. A lovely, genuine piece of writing.Quote:

If you only have time to read one article, make it "A tale from the Heart".
I noticed that there was an article about travelling to races by train, so I read that first; but it was written as if the writer thought it was a new idea . . .
One of the best recent issues for me.
Enjoyed the higher number of race-related articles.... and the review/preview of the 23 & 24 English Champs by ba-ba (although i had heard his thoughts already on a podcast)
I'm thinking of submitting an article for the next issue, about the upcoming Jubilee Plunge race, what with it being a relatively unique race.... will ask the RO for permission next weekend.
