No one forced Allan to put his race in the FRA Calendar and no one forced him to lie about the height figures to gain inclusion.
There are several well known "fell" races not listed in the Calendar that survive so if Allan's race is so attractive presumably people would beat a path to his door anyway...?
What next? Can I organise a race round my garden and special plead that my race doesn't quite meet the FRA criteria but I 'd like it to be included in the Calendar, oh and insured by the FRA as well?
Thirty years ago there were only around 40 races in the FRA Calendar. Not many I agree but at least they were fell races and not a tour of my lawns.
