Beggar, it clashes with Meanwood trail race -even though thats a morning race I don't think I'm ready for 2 races in one day. That said I hope the move to a Saturday yields dividends with increased numbers from its old midweek slot.

Well the change in date will be brill - I have never seen so many midges as that evening I did it when it was in summer! Even in Scotland!!!

But the clash - well, my Oli is going to do both - nutter! Jerry reckons it's cos Oli hasn't got into beer yet!

Today's fell runners expect race results to be posted on a website before they even get home for a shower but in the good old days a previous organiser of the BSR, a self employed builder, collected the standard self addressed envelopes and postage money and threw them into the back of his van.

He then forgot about them.

One year later when sorting out his van for the next BSR from under the sacks of cement and piles of bricks he found envelopes and cash and thought " Oh well! Never mind. After all, who wants the results now!"

A midge free BSR?

Times have certainly changed.

What are the junior age categories?

I don't know if this race is in the calendar, I can't find my book.

It is not in the Calendar. New organisers for 2007. The relay used to be an evening event in June.

The "flyer" does not give details for juniors so I would contact the organisers who are BOFRA-background-relaxed-kind-of-people. If you look at the 2006 results on the FRA website you will appreciate this event puts the fun into relay fellrunning. It is not the Ian Hodgson Relay.

Prizes bought. Beer labelled. Trophies tracked down. Marshals enlisted. Photographer (M. Woodentop no less) geared up. FRA checklist checked. Good weather booked (sorry, risky one that).
See you all there Wednesday!
