Re: Beginner in Sheffield
Dark and White run some good events suitable for beginners up in your neck of the woods. 3 hours in the Peak District, you choose the route.
I've been to a couple and really enjoyed them.

Don't think the 2010 dates are on their website yet but the first three (Tigger Tor, Tigers Todger and Totley Moor) all on the FRA calender.
Others close to Sheffield and public transport would include Burbage Skyline, Hathersage Gala, Stanage Struggle, Bamford Carnival, Wolf's Pit for starters.
Stanage Struggle route would make another good 6 mile training run from hathersage -http://www.fbrc.co.uk/Struggle%20map.htm
If you scroll about at http://www.totleyac.org.uk/calendar/TotleyColCal.html for long enough, you'll find the dates for the totley races.

I have done some of their events. Good fun, well organised, although somewhat expensive(£9?) to enter if remember correctly.
Re: Beginner in Sheffield
The Hope Valley railway line is useful, for accessing fell runs onto Kinder. You could get off at Hope or Edale.
Re: Beginner in Sheffield
Hi,
Im also relatively new to fell running (I've got my first race- The Wadsworth Half-Trogg next weekend) and also live in Sheffield. I was wondering if anyone fancies going for a run this Sunday from Edale or Hope? (Or somewhere easily accessible from Sheffield by public transport).
It would be nice to get out for about 10 miles and I would greatly appreciate some company!
Cheers
:)

There's Tigger Tor this Sunday, you can catch a bus out to that or carshare. If you end up on Kinder go to the western end and you may come across the Hayfield Trial
Re: Beginner in Sheffield
The Tigger Tor sounds good. What better way to train for your so called first fell race than doing a fell race?
Hopefully there are still places available. I will pop in to accelerate-uk tomorrow and see if I can enter.
Thanks for the advice.

I'm sure you will be able to.
Say hi to Stu and debs in Accelerate and if you want moreinfo on race checkout DP's race calender or send a PM to Darth of the Darkside as Mrs DotDS is one of the Organisors
If you do well I'm told there is some really Excellent 'Ale' for prizes;)

She prefers Padomay rather than Mrs DotDS!
Come and do the race - 9.5 miles all runnable with hot showers and a rugby bar afterwards.
Life doesn't get much better
Re: Beginner in Sheffield
I registered today! Hopefully I won't do anything silly like getting lost.
Cheers for the advice.
