U20s mini-report: Thank you to North Face for sponsoring the series, and to Steve and the team at Bowland for accommodating our 1st-January age category, along with the series trophy presentation. The agricultural show provided quite a backdrop, but also some delays before the trophy presentation. I ought to be sponsored by Bowland Fresh Milk It was nice to meet some of the cows.

U20 winners at Hodder were Dark Peak's Tom Saville and ERYRI's Bronwen Jenkinson.

Series Champions are Anthony Dalton (Rossendale), Amelia Mitchell (Mansfield), with Mansfield also celebrating in style after winning the team championships. Congratulations to all, and a full report in Fellrunner.

Apparently Haltwhistle is Equidistant from all extremities of the British Isles 370 miles to Shetland, Jersey, Scilley isles, Fastnet and Bantry Bay.
Its Compass Bearings are also Equidistant, 290 miles north to north Orkney and south to Portland Bill. And 36 miles west to Bowness on Solway and east to Wallsend.
It has a Centre of Britain Hotel, COB Crest and signs all over the place so they seem pretty sure of themselves.
There must be 2 sets of "Boffins" who disagree on how it should be calculated.

Could all be changing soon anyway

It doesn't change it at all really, taking Britain as a geographical term not a political one.

It could work out pretty well for Haltwhistle, the middle of Britain (including a lot of sea) and on the border between Scotland and rUk (sorry I can't write England there although justabout everyone else would).

Edit: a bit careless; near Hadrian's Wall at least. Not far from Scotland.

Can someone clarify the distance for this race. Calendar says 11km/6.9m but distance on the map on the bowland site is 6.8m. The map looks like it's less than 6.9m...

It might be a bit late now, but having run it, the calender is correct. I think the map on the site was from last year when it would seem to have been in a slightly different location as well.
