Well I love Fellrunner but can see a glimmer of antisocials point. It seems to be made up of races, results, ultra running and BGR's - I'd also like topics on everyday solo running and solo exploring of the hills and mountains. And not just the obvious places but how about Dartmoor, Herefordshire, the Welsh Borders, the Scottish Borders or the North York Moors?
I'm a fan of solo expeditions - the Scotland crossing for instance this issue was excellent and inspirational (even though he went way over the top with his use of adjectives) and I'd love to hear a runner's experiences of doing, I dunno, the dragons back solo or as a small group - did Wheeze ever write up his?
The trouble with BGR's is that they're so well supported, with endless recces, sherpas and whatnot. Yeah I know its really, really chuffing hard but it does sound like there's almost a BGR industry backing each attempt. To me for example a solo BGR done totally self sufficiency is more interesting, almost regardless of the time it takes, and if ever I can raise my game to try one thats what I'd go for.
