yeah who's he on about!!? Are you going to become black and yellow plodder then - or maybe the buzz whizz (fast and like a bee)??? either way - best of luck with with team panini!

It will be a plain t-shirted plodder for a while.
Someone was having a laugh when they decided on those Pennini colours - especially the long sleeved one!
You need shades on the pack training runs (and why folks wear team vests to train in is beyond me)

Hi Scott, Mike Fanning here.

I know that Chris Newman moved to the Penrith area, I know that he works funny shifts, and as I work odd hours, and having seen him running on Blencathra one day, I asked if ever he fancied a run out to let me know. I have been running with any number of runners from other clubs, supported many runners from other clubs on Bob Graham attempts and the like, I have shown any number of people round lakeland fell races, and not with the intention of "poaching" them to join Borrowdale. I even helped your club on its Billy Bland challenge because there weren't enough people to make up the numbers, and the one runner who would have had to do a leg on their own was worried about that. I think it was Chris Newman who asked me to help.

I think you are way out of order, but easy answer, eh? No help for anyone from now on, no words of encouragement for the many talented runners that I try to support and encourage, and so far as you and your club are concerned, if in fact you speak for Wharfedale at all, lesson learned: sod you, and sod your club.

Mike

Definately not speaking for me as a Wharfedale member who also did one of the legs on the Billy Bland Challenge, where Mikes help was much appreciated.

Sorry Nick, it was unfair of me to criticise Wharfedale more generally, and I withdraw the "sod your club" comment from my earlier post. I might need to join you one day myself!. I am of course always willing to help out and you are all always very welcome for running and beer here in Newlands. And, for the record, that is not an attempt to induce any of you to join Borrowdale!!
Mike

BTW Purple Plodder, 7th December - I'll let you know if that is wrong.

I'd just like to thank all the organisers and everyone who helped put on sundays fell relays, especially the marshalls on top of the hills - I was absolutely freezing in the holding pen waitiong for leg 4 to get underway, so it must have been absolutely evil for those spending hours on top of East Lomond and the other hills. The relays are always one of the highklights of the year for the fell runners at our club, so it was well worth the long haul up from Essex for the weekend. Everyone from our club enjoyed the event even though we were never likely to trouble the leaderboard. We have to apologise if we scared off any of the locals - we were staying in Dunfermline, and most of the pubs we visited, emptied pretty quickly after our arrival, and we were described as a "sinister bunch" by one of the few people who didn't run for cover. It was also nice to see after watching the Dunfermline-Ross County match on saturday, that England doesn't have a complete monopoly on dodgy goalkeepers yet. Thanks again for a brilliant weekend.

I think that in 15 years time that bloke will still be telling the story of that disreputable bunch of Essex based fell runners that once entered his local in Dunfirmline. We will go down in folk law.

Sounds good. If it is that's central so hows about a Saturday relays.....that way we can aid the local economy and drink some beer...

As it is it s a late return Sunday so we go to work shattered, I'd rather drive up late Friday/Saturday morning, run, then beer, then drive home Sunday....

As it was even on the Sunday a fair few did 1 day dashes from the midlands and back in one day..
