Dufton Show Fell Race

[twilk]

Great race, what a start, eyeballs out or what, seemed like 5 miles in through the fields to the finish. Well done to all involved in organising, and all who ran. and the weather was spot on.

I agree, Twilk. Did anyone near you drop some litter after the race?

[twilk]

As a mater of fact yes, but the guilty party will be re-united with the litter at a later date, ashamed to say it was a club mate.

[twilk]

Another club mate, was the retired teacher with his arse showing through a somewhat thredbare towel.

threadbare

Any evidence?

[twilk]

For the litter, or the arse?

Ran this yesterday at the Dufton Show and really enjoyed it. Am not familiar with these fells at all with my only knowledge being of the fell poets expedition a while back, but it was a cracking route with stunning scenery and was very well managed. I know it was a championship race a couple of years ago so many will be familiar, but Id recommend this for a pleasant day out next year. Especially if, like me, your steadily building fitness levels and have some youngsters who are keen to run. I thought the junior races were also great routes and my two were delighted with their runs.

Big thanks to Morgan Donnelly for organising it and doing a great job only a couple of days after he returned from a terrific run in Colorado.

Really enjoyed the race. My 2 boys also enjoyed the junior race.

As with most "show races" this is a hard fast short course which can be punishing.
Chuffed to finish 40 seconds up on last year but gutted that I yet again went out too quick and blew up. When will I learn....................

Big thanks to all the organisers & mountain rescue team that were on hand.
