    If I remember correctly Ady it was a pub car park so there was a bit of an incentive there

    Rombalds Moor was my first ever fell race so I always had a soft spot for that one.

    High Brown Knoll Fell Race disappeared now?

    You'll have to go through all the old calendars! I presume you're not interested in ones that were only run once.

    Could this be the race you heard about?
    I think i did Gategill in 2002. Could that have been the last time it was run?

    When the pub closed there was talk of a Boulsworth Hill race from another venue but i dont think it would have been the same without that last climb up to the finish near the pub car park.

    I travelled to North Wales a couple of times to do the Dwygyfylchi race. That race is no longer with us. The last time i did it in 2003 was probably the hottest day i have ever run on

    The Glossop Fell Race, at least I think that was it's name. 20 or 21 miles that took you north then east then south and back into Glossop. Another 'before my time' but several in Glossopdale remember it well.
