Cheers guys, the kind of thing I'm thinking of is to join a club and be able to keep up (almost!) on the hills, and a bit more speed up hill, even if walking, on long days out.
But, I want to get a wee bit better at hills before I approach a club, probably one of the two you mentioned above. I know Wharfedale do a regular tuesday run in my home town, Silsden - is that a road run, off-road, or a mixture does anyone know?
