    Good running club, NW?

    I've just started running a couple of months ago and want to join a running club, preferably one that goes fell running....I live in Liverpool and have been running on trails since I started...would be grateful of any suggestions?

    There's lots of good clubs in Liverpool, but none that go fell running particually.

    You might be best joining your local club to train with during the week, and another one in the hills thats affiliated for fells. Clwydian Hill Runners and Bowland both come to mind. It's a shame Merseyside FR no longer exists, eh YDT?

    I think I'm going to try Astley and Tyldesley Running Club as it's only half an hour away from me. Thanks.
