RichT,

Some very good stuff there, almost to well balanced! Plainly it's time you got over the injury & got back on the fells!!!

Particularly liked the fringe reference, all of which you will know I agree with...

and today saw, (yesterday now!) a good number of wonderful ("Fell") events taking place, across these tiny congested Isles (& beyond), which I suspect would take place regardless of the bureaucracy.....

but, maybe I'm just being too simplistic as usual....


and none of this is to demean the brilliant efforts of those who serve selflessly & give their precious time freely on/in committee & sub-committees, in pursuit of sustaining our "sport", and enabling us & the “young” people to find the special places we have come to love.

and I hope those who punch, so strongly here, will put back the same effort, of those who do now, when change comes....

... ballot papers??? always take a long time to reach this neck of the woods..
