Thanks Trig. My first taste of the fells was the Yorkshireman Half last September; that led to the Stoop and Rivock Edge before Christmas. I've done about a dozen or so races in 2011 so far (with a good few on the horizon as well.) A good part of the reason I've taken part in so many stemmed from you, Mark and other chaps from Heptonstall being so friendly on the first Heptonstall recce/race.
So thanks! Truth be told, before that first recce I'd been quite nervous about 'stepping up' to fells from the roads (even though I'd done the Yorkshireman). Now I've got a degree of confidence I'm really enjoying the different challenges of all the different types of races there are out there. So many hills and mountains - so little time

.
Cheers,
Jo
