Fell races don't need promotion...indeed that's a dangerous route to go down. A well organised race with a reputation will always attract runners. What do you call a 'decent sized field'? Every time I have done Carneddau, the field has seemed perfectly matched for facilities/route etc.

But of course, North Wales is in complete societal meltdown according to the Oracle. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...entre-9pm.html
Tremble in fear all you lily livered Saesnegs!:wink:
Erm.. I disagree.. they promote fell running.. calendars etc. Also race numbers.. 30 odd in some races? Come on that's awful, we can easily take 100/race, strangely the more traily races or shorter races are more popular. Tuesday evening races often get 100+..

1-2 hr drive from North Wales is literally millions..

What's that about.. North korean kids banned from Bangor?
