Thought that could be a good article till it turned into a big advert for Feet in the [Sodding] Clouds. Is Richard Askwith the spokeperson for fell running?

Top fell runners 'mingling with their fans'? Crikey. I imagine most/all top fell runners would be slightly embarrassed by the thought of that going on.

Oh I don't know - it can be a positive experience. I've "mingled" with Rob Hope and I got the feeling he was flattered that I gave him the time of day :wink::wink:

This is the January article, that Graham was referring to in the original post on this thread, doing the rounds again for some reason.

I had a quick look through the new edition of FITC today and a fellow by the name of Graham Breeze is mentioned in the Epilogue :closed:

Speak of the devil, saw Breezy flying around the Great Hill Fell race today - not much Elan in evidence

I enjoyed that article, made me chuckle!

Although I neither drink from smelly bogs nor eat decomposing sheep.

Pretty sure I've read similar articles in several newspaper 'lifestyle' sections in the past year...

When did the 'to be a fell runner you must wear a buff' article sneak into the FRA rules?...

[Fudge the Elf]

I for one wouldn't be seen dead eating a decomposing sheep wearing a buff. Buffs is for nancy trail runners, Me I've always sworn by a pair of missus's bloomers.
