    Collective noun

    Ok, just for fun, was scratching my head trying to come up with a suitable collective noun for a group (gaggle?) of fellrunners.

    Any suggestions?

    I recollect that we considered that a stud of fell runners would be appropiate.

    Re: Collective noun

    ...perhaps there should be a more specific club-based term...

    A possie of Ponies,

    A barge of Wharfedalers,

    A tiller of Helm hillers,

    A multitude of Toddies and

    A Warmth of Calder Valliers...?
    ...there's a hill nearby missing its fool...
