The Screes Fell Race

[sbrt]

My first A class race.

Realy enjoyed it, better than A class drugs.

Forgot to thank any of the organisers/marshals so

Thank you

I know this isn't in the calendar this year, and someone mentioned Middlefell wasn't on because of the pub changing hands.

Does anyone know if the Screes race is on?

The race is on their website but with no details.

Speedy the owner is on his hols at the moment and the staff are not sure whether its on Saturday 24th October. Ring next week.

I have been contacted this week about the 2009 Screes race and am expecting to receive details from the organiser in the next few days. These will appear on the FRA website when I receive them.

It was a bit wild on top of Whin Rigg today

Thanks to the organisers for putting on the race and all at the The Screes Inn and especially those marshalls on top of Whin Rigg.

Jos Naylor started us off and manned the last stile before the road section back to the pub. The FellMeister stood there in the rain till all the runners had passed offering encouragement to all I did take the opportunity to check if he had a spare copy of his book but apparently they are as rare as hens teeth at the moment

Nice tatorhash afterwards (with black pudding) washed down with a very smooth pint of Cumbria Way

any news on the winner ?

Nick Fish in 43 something, followed by Chris Knowles. After that I can't remember! Results should appear on the inn website at some point.
And if anyone is interested they are planning to keep this great little race in the calendar, as well as the Middlefell race in April. Date yet to be decided.
