"..the 1970s also witnessed a development of clubs specialising in fellrunning, including new ones like Keswick AC, Dark Peak Fell Runners and CFR, the latter a direct extension of the CFRA, and already established clubs like Horwich RMI and Rossendale,....
Borrowdale is recent isn't it? Wasn't that a branch off from Keswick?Quote:
