since when did U/A status denote lack of experience??you still get plenty of unattached runners
So the only way to make fell running safer is to make people go on a nav course and join a club?
Do that and watch the sport wither and die.

Yeah unattached runners eh? How rubbish are they?![]()
anyone really serious about fell running would join a club, surely?
If you implemented something like I said, it wouldn't matter if you were unattached.
...and 'obviously' the whole spirit of fell running is wanting to be certified, monitored, measured, timed and corralled. Can't wait...!
(Oh crap...my better get my BMI up a bit, might fail my compulsory standardised chart measurement...)
not a dig at you Mr theheathens, but at someone who I believe is now on the committee.....
Nevertheless, certificates to run on the fells? You honestly think that's going to work?
I'm saying that ROs make the licence compulsory to enter races but the FRA et al administer it. You would not actually have to be a member of said organisation, although membership may mean you get it free / discounted.
It doesn't really matter if you are unattached or a member of the FRA, as long as you complete the course and renew fairly regularly.
Certificates to RACE on the fells.
There's nothing to stop me from going scuba diving on my own without a permit but you have to be qualified to dive with a group. It works well for them.
Obviously the risks are greater there but with technology, there is no reason why a similar scheme couldn't be administered within 2 years.
