NT refuses Permission

[wynn]

The NT have refused permission to use the fells for the Teenager with Altitude as is their right.....

That's a real shame, but will carry on enjoying doing the AW which is pretty much my favourite race (as well as being the last race I beat 'im indoors - not been close since).

cheers

What sort of criteria do they use to reject/allow a race?

That's a real shame. The NT are normally very accommodating and there are one or two fell runners in there who do their bit from the inside.

I wonder if you've suffered from the OMM effect!

I'm sure someone come up with some appropriate lyrics for ths original Woody Guthrie song (also covered by The Boss, Springsteen).

This land is your land, this land is my land
From [the] California to the [Staten] New York Island,
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf stream waters,
[God blessed America for me.]

As I went walking that ribbon of highway
And saw above me that endless skyway,
And saw below me the golden valley, I said:
[God blessed America for me.]
I roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts,
And all around me , a voice was sounding:
[God blessed America for me.]
Was a high wall there that tried to stop me
A sign was painted said: Private Property,
But on the back side it didn't say nothing --
[God blessed America for me.]
When the sun come shining, then I was strolling
In wheat fields waving and dust clouds rolling;
The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting:
[God blessed America for me.]
One bright sunny morning in the shadow of the steeple
By the Relief Office I saw my people --
As they stood hungry, I stood there wondering if
[God blessed America for me.]

Would the rejection have anything to do with the Coledale Horseshoe being run in the area the following week?

It's (unsurprsingly) Billy Bragg on the Disagreement of the People anti-criminal-injustice-compilation...

I won't be renewing my NT membership.
