The Grumpy Old Person

[wheezing donkey]

Well I'm just relieved I have never become one of those people who think the FRA should be limited to 1000 members, that the Calendar went downhill once a single staple couldn't hold the sheets together, that all trail races are an abomination, that photographs (and in colour!) should not grace the pages of The Fellrunner which should still be produced in A5 size on a Gestetner and that any event outside the lakes or Yorkshire is nothing more than a puffed up gala race only suitable for children.

By Gum, Graham. How can a toff in Ilkley read my working class mind, here in Lancaster

Britta did a superb job of raising The Fellrunner to full 'coffee table' standard.
But the old A5 editions did make you feel that you belonged to a rather elite but somewhat esoteric minority group; it was so good that we didn't need social media back then, The Fellrunner said it all.

And talking of Boy Wonder (and Toffer); he's been very 'under the radar' these past few months.

By the by; I am an old person (mid-way through my 7th decade) but not grumpy; it's all these trendy young upstarts who are so out of step with how to do things properly ....... all said very tongue in cheek!
