Hi suggestions please for the most active & social Fell Running Club, accessible from Lancaster/ Forest of Bowland area.
Dallam! :thumbup:
We're a friendly bunch, with a good mix of abilities and interests.
More info on our website:
gorunningwithdallam.blogspot.org
And we've a race this coming Tuesday 3rd - 20 Barriers. off road fell/trail about 5 miles from Carnforth High school, North Lancs, as the name suggests there are 20 barriers [stiles, fences etc] to negotiate.
Hope to see you there?
Obviously I would suggest a club a bit further north, near the Howgill area... but Dallam have always seemed like a darn good bunch of chaps and chapesses too, and a bit nearer Lancaster too.
Hope to be at 20 Barriers on Tuesday too, but coming straight from work and that hasn't worked well before. Ah well.
What a bizarre question.....Quote:

However, we don't really need to actively recruit members so won't be upset if you join one of the lesser NW fellrunning clubs - like Clayton for instance... :thumbup:
Don't you have to over 50 to join Clayton....:w00t:Quote:

Fellhound, it is a daft question but I have spent a quite few weekends recently looking at houses in rather a big area from Kendal to Preston and east of the M6, one of the house must haves is to be close to a good friendly and active fell running club so I need a bit of help in finding out where and when the club training nights are and how often pubs nights happen :) ............as for what my prospective new home looks like that doesn't really matter to me!
PS Fellhound, now that I have seen the Bowland website, I recognise the club vest, seen plenty at fell races.........usually behind me :) :)
You've obviously only met the Bowland plodders then.... like me for instance...:oQuote:

Cheeky! (but...yes.)Quote:

Best club in the NW .... That's got to be Manx fell runners then :)
I thought the question mentioned the north west...there's only one club in the north west and that's cumberland fell runners...:p
Haha what are you on about you silly prat!Quote:

Lesser clubs? I forgot that Bowland are the thoroughbreds of the fell running world...
Someone clearly missing the joke here :D
Pudsey & Bramley !!
Nothing wrong with being over 50!!!Quote:
