Bilsdale Fell Race

I am pleased to announce that there will be a new AL race on the North York Moors next year. The inaugural Bilsdale Fell Race will be on Sunday 17th March 2019. More details available on the Esk Valley Fell Club website shortly. Brief summary as follows:

23km with 1300m of climbing. Registration at Chop Gate Village Hall.

Start: 562 003 – Road bridge over Bilsdale Beck east of B1257 (1km walk from Chop Gate car park)
CP1: 594 016 – Round Hill trig column
CP2: 567 032 – Disused quarry on south of White Hill (B1257 road crossing marshalled)
CP3: 551 035 – Northern summit of Cold Moor (cut off time here of 90mins and runners not making this directed back to Chop Gate south along Cold Moor ridge)
CP4: 542 038 – SE fence corner of Kirkby scout hut
CP5: 535 034 – Falconer Seat on Cleveland way
CP6: 526 036 – Stream on Busby Moor
CP7: 517 027 – Path junction below Carlton Trig
CP8: 528 010 – Gate on public right of way
CP9: 518 000 – Scugdale Hall
CP10: 543 984 – Cock Howe cairn
Finish: 559 993 – Chop Gate car park

Nice.
One query: should "CP2: 567 032 – Disused quarry on north of White Hill" actually be more like 567 037? The given GR leads me to the edge of the open access land next to hasty bank farm.

Now I'm back on the edge of the moors I'll have a trot round maybe next weekend. Race day will probably be a no as I'll be in road-running mode at that point.

Will try to get out for a Tuesday run next week with EV as well.

Thanks Nic.

Just checked and the grid ref is about right (maybe 5675 0325 to be more precise) but the description should say south side not north. I've updated the description. There is a trod that leads round to the quarry from the Cleveland Way above Hasty Bank Farm. The CP is just above the 350m contour.

After your trot round please do let me know of any more errors/queries so I can hopefully sort them out before race day. Will be good to see you next week at Pinchinthorpe if you can make it.

Race map and route description are now on the Esk Valley web-site.

Any queries/errors please let me know.

Had a wander round this at the weekend, really good route Quinny - a great addition to Moors races. Tough middle section. Not sure if you are prepared to give any tips, but coming down from Falconer Seat to CP6 (stream on Busby Moor), would you say it is better to follow a path left, then it drops down to a path which leads to the stream? A bit of a longer way, but direct down that heather slope looks rough! I couldn't find a direct trod.

Cheers Tim. Glad you enjoyed the route.

As for the descent from the Falconer Seat you're right that there is no direct trod below the contour path. When I recced the route I quite liked going down a gully which was pretty direct but it was rough! I think the path you've mentioned takes quite a detour and the bracken should have died off by March so a direct route won't be quite as bad. There might be better options but I'm hoping that will create a bit of discussion :-)

Looking forward to throwing myself down the hill then! One more that I meant to mention, coming back up to Carlton Trig from CP7, there is a pretty obvious path which winds up there, but near the top of the hill goes through a big gap in the fence next to a sign saying no right of way...the map suggests you go through the fence at the bottom of the slope to get the CP7, then take a sharp left and up (but I couldn't find a track up at the bottom). At the top of the hill it looked like a feint track did head down there to the bottom.

That sign is the main reason we're not using that path up to the trig. Not sure why the sign is there as the land is Open Access anyway and it's a shame as it's a really nice ascent. The other reason is that there is a much steeper path further round the hill :)

The map is right in that you go through the fence at the bottom on the contour track. I think the map is about right where it shows the left turn uphill. The turn is possibly a bit further round than the map suggests. The path is really clear and joins up with a downhill mountain bike track at the same junction which heads off into the trees towards Carlton. You probably didn't go far enough round on the contour path if you couldn't find it.

Hope this helps. Any more queries please ask.

Thanks...maybe not for the extra climb though. I carried on that path for a bit but obviously not far enough. Am enjoying getting off the main paths round there and onto some different areas.

If you're free on a Tuesday (or Wednesday) evening and want to explore some new paths you should join us on one of our training runs:

Cheers for the info. Not that easy for me to make it along to these unfortunately, but I will keep it in mind.

Had a look around this today. Testing route, with a very nice finishing descent. I'd agree with Tim G in that it's a fantastic addition to the NY Moors races. Blows Blakey Blitz's claim to the toughest moors race, out of sight.

Could not for the life of me find a trod from the bridleway on Bilsdale West Moor down to CP8, ended up just following a bearing and straight-lining it through the heather down to the gap in the wall. I don't think I missed anything obvious, barring a feint sheep trod maybe?

The only other bit that I think that I didn't get right was the climb up to Cringle Moor; again, I couldn't find an obvious trod, but maybe there isn't one?

Great stuff though Quinny, it should be a cracking race :)

Thanks very much for the positive feedback. Great to hear. It certainly is a lot tougher than Blakey Blitz being slightly longer and about double the ascent.

You didn't miss anything obvious over to CP8. It's refreshing to hear that someone can use a compass :-)

There are 3 sections over pathless ground:
1. The final bit of the ascent up to Cringle Moor (CP5) although there is a faint trod which is easier to follow in the other direction.
2. The second half of the descent down to CP6.
3. The section from the bridleway to CP8.

On-line entries will open in about a couple of weeks. I'll update on here when they're available.

Entries now open:

https://www.sportsentrysolutions.com...ecordID=201033

25% full with one person entering twice!

Last couple of days for pre-entry. 88 entrants at the moment so on the day entry almost guaranteed.

Bother, forgot to enter! Will their be entry on the day? I'm guessing so given the numbers, but...

106 pre-entries so entry on the day is available. Pre-race info will hopefully be on the club web-site and Facebook page shortly but I'll post it here too:

1. On the day parking was going to be at William Beck Farm. However, the field is too wet so we will fit as many cars as possible into the car park at the village hall. When the car park is full parking will be available at the roadside.

2. Registration will be in Chop Gate village hall from 9am. The first thing you will need to do is have your kit checked. You need to have:

Waterproof whole body cover (with taped seams and integrated attached hood) + hat + gloves + map + compass + whistle + emergency food (copies of the map will be available in the hall).

3a Pre-Entries will need to sign next to your name to collect your race number.
3b On The Day entries will need to fill in the standard FRA form and their own queue.

4. Registration will close at 10.45am. There is a 10 minute walk from the village hall to the start so please ensure you are there in good time.

5. Water will be available at the road crossings at Clay Bank and Carlton Bank and also at CP9 in Scugdale. Please bring a mug or bottle for the water. Plastic cups will not be used. Marshals will also be at the road crossings, please follow any instructions they give you.

6. There will be a pasty, a slice of cake and tea/coffee for each runner in the village hall after you have finished. Please bring your own mug for tea/coffee.

Bilsdale Fell Race

Figuratively speaking: when I heard about Bilsdale, I was doing cartwheels.

Literally speaking: I was genuinely excited about the inaugural Bilsdale fell race. Not only is it a newbie in the fell calendar, it’s also the only category AL race on The North York Moors.

There’s a newbie at work. He looks the outdoorsy type, his beard is the giveaway. It’s not one of them well-groomed hipster beards, it’s bona fide wizard-like facial fuzz in vibrant ginger. Even the majestic specimen of gingerness that is Wharfedale’s Sam Watson pales in comparison; a ginger impostor; a strawberry blonde at best when compared to newbie.

We’ve not yet been formally introduced as the new bloke works on the opposite shift, I’ve only seen him in passing. He has a Brazilian girlfriend: she’s ‘well-fit’...according to my other work colleagues. Their opinions are based on photographic evidence. They brazenly told newbie he’s ‘punching above his weight’. He informed them that in South America redheads are considered exotic and desirable. ‘Bollocks’ was their discourteous reply. However, they did offer their apologies when a search on google confirmed that according to Lonely Planet travel guide: ‘Brazilians love gingers’. To surprise his girlfriend, newbie has been attending samba dance classes. One of the apprentices at work says ‘that’s gay’. He then retracted his derogatory comment once he’d seen a video of the class. He’s thinking of going along to the next one himself. The apprentice says he’s going travelling when he’s served his time, he’s going to Brazil with a bottle of Cherry crush by L’Oréal and some ‘smoking samba moves’...his words, not mine.

There’s an imminent shift change coming up and I’ll become acquainted with my new work colleague. Given his outdoorsy appearance I’m going to recommend that he stays vigilant if he’s to ever visit the affluent Cheshire town of Wilmslow, as there are cougars on the prowl looking for a bit of rough...I speak from experience!

A few years ago whilst on route to Bollington 3 Peaks Fell Race we’re feeling hungry; proper Klempt. It’s only mid morning but Wilmslow’s cafe society is already vibrant. My wife turns off the in-car heavy metal, saying ‘it’s inappropriate for the area’. She’s feeling cultured and substitutes the emphatic metal beats for the musical complexity of Dire Straits. I’m told they were one of Lady Diana’s favourite bands, along with Duran Duran. I thank my wife for sharing her insightful knowledge on the listening habits of the late Princess. I make a mental note to tell my mum, she’ll find it interesting as she likes royal family trivia.

Wilmslow’s salubrious eating establishments had caught Alison’s attention. She suggests we stop for ‘brunch’. Not one to disappoint I attempt to park the Nissan between two prestigious motors.

The disapproving glances from the onlooking movers and shakers had made me nervous. I’m normally not too bad at parallel parking but was feeling pressurised under the watchful eyes of the Cheshire set. The tricky manoeuvre was eventually accomplished at the third attempt, by now out of embarrassment, Alison had sunk down the passenger seat out of view of prying eyes. She left me hanging when I went for a complimentary high-five. ‘Piece of piss’ I joyously declared. ‘Absolutely fabulous darling, third time lucky’ was my wife’s satirical riposte.

We’re spoilt for choice: the eateries have a continental vibe, pasta and tapas compliment the high street ambience. We’re pleasantly surprised there’s a Greggs as we can’t resist it’s diverse range of savoury pastry snacks, sandwiches and cakes...bakery dining par excellence. Partaking in Wilmslow’s cafe society is put on hold as Greggs is calling. Alison’s on the ball and downloaded an app to her phone where Greggs loyalty is rewarded with points that are exchanged for free products. My wife’s enterprising endeavour is commendable: we’ve been in Wilmslow less than an hour and already Alison is displaying a level of sophistication that leaves me gushing with pride. I complement her astuteness as she nips off to Greggs with a spring in her step.

I’m sat on a bench situated within Wilmslow’s pedestrianised high street. Nellie our scruffy little Border Terrier is sat upon my lap. She’s licking her privates, admittedly her actions aren’t very ladylike (especially in Wilmslow) but I don’t reprimand her as she looks content. Eventually I nudge her to stop as we have company. We’re joined by two elderly ladies, both are elegantly dressed but I find their large sunglasses excessive. They look towards me and start to make conversation, I instantly notice my reflection within their cumbersome shades...elegant in appearance I’m not. Alternately, I’m questioned: How old is your dog? Is your dog your best friend? Does your dog keep you warm at night?...I found their inquisitiveness strange and intrusive but I remained polite.

Alison arrives with brunch and whilst passing me my sausage roll and brew says “no burping, no slurping”...we both laughed. I enquire to the whereabouts of my goat cheese and avocado brioche sandwich, with just a soupçon of chives? I’m told to eat my roll and stop being a knob. The elders gathered up their collection of boutique shopping bags and say their goodbyes, both looked surprised by Alison’s arrival. Nellie’s nostrils start twitching, she’s surprised by the sausage rolls arrival.

Alison informs me I look dazed and confused. I come straight out with it...”I think two cougars have just tried chatting me up, I feel like a piece of meat?”. I then informed her about the questioning. I’m surprised with her reaction: she did nowt but laugh. I’m told not to flatter myself as the so called cougars obviously thought I was homeless. Much discussion followed where we ‘agree to disagree’. If Alison’s speculation is correct, it’s fair to say the elderly ladies of Wilmslow weren’t familiar with outdoorsy chic and I’m not familiar with being chatted up.

So...what’s the verdict on Bilsdale Fell Race: It’s beltin!

At just over 15 miles with approximately 4200ft of climb it’s not a race to be underestimated. Especially given the sometimes unsympathetic North York Moors terrain where focal points can be few and far between. Navigation on Bilsdale fell race can be challenging. This is a proper fell race: an unmarked race route ran over open moorland...intrinsic fellrunning.

Many thanks to Mike and all his helpers. Special mention for the ‘free’ pasties, cakes and countless brews that were served up in the excellent Chop Gate village hall.
Well done race winners Neal Crampton and Katie Hiffe.

Coincidentally...today I’ve been told I’m working with newbie for the first time next week. He actually has a name, he’s called Oliver. The lads at work say he’s a decent bloke and in time I’ll regale him with my Wilmslow experience, which still leaves me feeling in dire straits. In time I’ll also show Oliver this ‘race report’ which may leave him in dire straits...’brothers in arms’.

As for Oliver’s Brazilian girlfriend, who am I to judge? I’ve been ‘punching above my weight’ for years.

Remember running around the Lancaster park run with your Alison, last summer. Her little asides & put downs always make me smile.
Back in '71 & '72 I did a trip as a fireman / greaser on a Shell oil tanker. Most of it was down Venezuela and Brazil. We had a 16 year-old deck boy on the crew, a proper little Scots ginger, only about 5' 3". Those S. American women ripped him to shreds on every run ashore. Seemingly it's the novelty of bearing a red haired baby that gets them all sparked up! The indigenous guys are all black haired and there's plenty of blondes as a good percentage of the Third Reich headed down there at the end of hostilities

Ian.

Nice one Ian.

What a brutal, brutal route :cool:

If the weather had been 24hrs delayed it might have been brutal brutal ++

Great race, fabulous addition to the moors - and by far and away the hardest.

The 'W' down to the scout hut, up to windy corner and down and up to Carlton Bank was bonkers! The vertical bog down the stream memorable - launching jumps into knee deep sludge was 'interesting'. Brilliant.

If it had ended somewhere near there I might finished in a knackered state...as it didn't I was totally banjaxed.

Having done a few recces certainly helped - I'm sure a few had 'fun' finding a short or direct route to CP8, local knowledge wins out :rolleyes:

Then it went right Pete Tong, both legs locked solid with cramp at Brian's Pond (lightweight I know), absolute nightmare getting the b*ggers back working. Never had such total cramp... a route that just kept giving!

Scugdale - only one more uphill...but 2.5miles of it...argghhh.

I love downhills, only thing I'm really any good at, disengage brain and 'go', but much as I was looking forward to that last mile my legs were just not doing it - I was just happy not to have anyone pass me, I don't think I'd have been able to live with the shame!

Be interesting to see if everyone got all the CPs, it was very welcome to have a race for navigators. I was surprised that even by CP 7 the race wasn't really strung out into a lot of space between runners

My legs hurt after finishing and wouldn't work later on after falling out of car at home, but they'll catch up with my brain which is wired and buzzing.

Well done, a great (brutal, bonkers, welcome) route and a truly great addition.

Oh - and thanks for the free pasties, cake and buckets of tea at end - Yorkshire value ;) (and to the marshal's who had some bleak spots to attend).

Thanks for the write up Darren. Brilliant as always ;)

Results finished and should be published soon. I've literally spent hours trying to work out which runners missed CP7 or CP9. Marshals did a great job recording but the extra runner certainly didn't help :mad:

Going to look into dibber system for next year!

Credit to marshal's as they must have had folk coming at them from all angles - particularly CP8, eyes left - eyes right - eyes up, not easy if a surge of runners - good luck :D

Thanks for the positive report Fritz. Glad you "enjoyed" it :D

Funnily enough it was CP9 not CP8 which caused the most problems. Everyone managed to get to CP8 although I don't think many runners took the same route. The Strava flybys are well worth a look.

Entries now open for this year's race:

https://www.sportsentrysolutions.com...ecordID=201328

Just over 50 entries so far with one competitor entering twice! Just a reminder that there is no entry on the day this year. Entries close on Sunday 8th March, a week before the race.

https://www.sportsentrysolutions.com...ecordID=201328

I’m gutted to be missing this, but I’m at a wedding the night before so I’m not likely to be in racing fettle.

Hope you get the numbers up a bit, I’ll be in for next year without a doubt!

Gutted I entered and then realised I was on holiday :o misread closing date for race date doh :rolleyes:

At least I only entered once I suppose

Great - hard - race :cool:

Hi Mike, i can’t race it as on parenting duty, a real shame as i enjoyed it last year. Do you need any more marshals? If there is a spot where i can park my car nearby so my daughter can retreat there if the weather is bad/she gets bored then i could help out. Maybe the road crossing at clay bank?

Cheers skipchris

I'm happy enough with the numbers. Had a few more entries now and I'm aware of a few people who are planning to do it but checking on fitness levels. We've got enough to cover the village hall, parking, prizes, food etc.

Hi Tim
Thanks for the offer. An extra pair of hands at the road crossing would be great. Please can you get to the village hall for about 10.30am?

Sounds good, see you at the village hall.

Unless government advice changes tomorrow the race is going ahead on Sunday. All competitors have been e-mailed with rationale behind this decision.

Results done:

Report to follow shortly.

Just wanted to say thanks for putting on a great AL race in the North York Moors. Nice route - with fast running for those lads and lassies, but lots of climb for us mountain goats! Great venue, food and prize giving atmosphere. One for the diary already in 2021! Nicky
