Inter-Counties

1st team, by my counting anyway, Greater Manchester. (6th, 7th and 8th) Well done lads. I told you I didn't need to run.

Thats three to GM nw in the last three years.

I think someone should look at the IC and how it can be made bigger and more appealling. Someone suggested running it withi a champs race. Would this work, or would fields just be too big and would there then be those silly people who sign up for it because its going to be a big race?

Hi Andy,

I would suggest trying to involve other age groups. It's a shame that we have such a thriving junior scene with the FRA and BOFRA champs, but no county representation.
I know some counties would find it difficult to find 3 per age group, but maybe you could have mixed ages like they do with some of the junior fell relays.

Holding it on such an important T&F weekend doesn't help though. My daughter is 2nd at the moment in the junior FRA, after only 1 admittedly, but she would have been at Blackpool today whatever.

I would have thought lkater in the year would be better - after the county fell champs - and make that seniors as well - I mean we have Lancs Seniors in inter counties, but only junior fell champs!!

Not quite joined up in my mind.

I'll tell you what - that looks one hell of a run from Victoria Wilkinson.
