Gisborough Moors Race

[Fairyfeet]

Cheers Hes, I have Fairfield penned in..kind of one of my 'dream' races having walked it a few times. I am going to have a crack at it when I'm on holiday at the end of this month and if I feel fit enough then I'll go up and enter.

I will actually be away when Carlton Bank is on, so blinking typical that the only time I get a prize for something I'm not going to be there. Dave has suggested he may do presentations at the second race . If not, I may have to despatch you as my envoy...acquaint you with the podium in your new category!

Fairfield tremendous race, well worth a trip.

Are you bored in Florida, mate?

By the way, the penny dropped on Sunday with a few of the Esk Valley lads as to why G. Moors wasn't club champs counter. Namely, that the champs organiser would be sunning himself in the U.S.A. on that particular day!!!

Top race, and a friendly bunch too!
Never run it before, but good 'holiday race' while on the wrong side of the country

[Martyn]

There is only one side of the country. It starts from Northallerton in the far west to Redcar then down to Scarborough across to Helmsley and then up to Northallerton again. It encloses the whole of the North York Moors including the heritage coast. There are other parts of England; Blackpool tower, Westminster abbey, Coronation street, Brookside close, Albert Square. These place a ARE NOT REAL!!! Stick to the North York Moors guys or gadgees as we say round here - its too dangerous anywhere else - you will get knocked town by a cockney taxi, buried under a patio or hit on the head with a bust of Queen Victoria

Will be heading up to this, seen as its fairly local for me at work!

Trail shoes or not?

Trail shoes or not?

Probably, overall, due to the road and track sections. But there'll be bits on the moors and up and down through the woods, as well as on Roseberry, when you'll think "I wish I'd worn my fell shoes."
A cracking race, you'll enjoy it.

As it turned out, it was definitely a day for studs!

Personally, it was a bit of a disaster as I DNF'd: pulled my calf early on, hoped I could run it off, but it was clearly getting worse.
I limped down from Captain Cook's Monument and retired at the car park checkpoint.

Many thanks to Sharon Gayter who kindly gave me a lift back to the start and did a good job raising my spirits by convincing me there is still a chance I can recover sufficiently to have a go at The Fellsman a week on Saturday.
