A couple of suggestions to kick off, I'm sure there are dozens more...
Dark Peak Fell Runners http://www.dpfr.org.uk/
Totley AC (not sure if they're solely a fell club, but they certainly have an active fell membership and their Sunday runs are at Hope, etc). http://www.totleyac.org.uk/
Either club, I think just turn up on a club night and enjoy.
Where abouts are you based? this would give us a better idea.
Personally speaking Dark Peak are a good club, if you travel over from the West then look at Pennine.
I live in Misterton,a small village between gainsborough and doncaster.
Looks like you'd have to drive across to Sheffield or Barnsley for club nights although Retford AC members have been known to take part in some fell races including Calderdale Way relay.

But yes - you're right.
I'm also looking for a club to join. Been out of the scene for a few years and my old club no longer does much on the fell side of things. Not really after a club to train with, just to represent in races and so count in any race series.
Location: Leigh
If you're more of a free spirit then FELL PONIES may be for you.....

No fees, no fuss etc etc
If you're looking for a structured, organised club with a regular training night/ premises, a sitting (or standing) committee, fees etc then we may not be for you but we certainly wouldn't turn anyone away.
Feel free to check out the website.....we're very much a scattered bunch geographically (North West predominatly but with members in the North East, Kent (yes, Kent), and the Lakes) but the banter's fantastic, and we do meet up at horse conventions, on sandy beaches and races too.

Lostock AC, small friendly club and we run from Horwich, Wednesday night head torch runs and long sunday runs!
Blackburn Harriers - operating out of Witton Park with training nights Tuesday - Thursday from 6.00pm.
We cater for Fells, Cross Country, Road and T&F so whatever your fancy we can help support the athlete.
Easy access - 5 mins off the M65 Junction 3.
3 totally different choices, but all perfectly good options in their own way.
