Team selection

[Travs]

But Travs all that would do is give runners from Yorkshire and other typical UK "fell counties" the opportunity to show how much better they are than runners from Devon, Hampshire - which are counties as well - in fell races.

That's a very fair point, one i totally understand... but that's the cold hard truth of it, fellracing is predominantly a regional sport due to the geographical nature of the UK, and consequently Cumbria/Yorkshire/Shropshire/Gwynedd/etc have a huge advantage... do we dilute the fell-racing challenge to give Devon/Hampshire/Warwickshire a "chance".... or do we ask them to step up to the plate if they think they're up to it?

Nobody is forcing the "lesser" counties to compete. After all there's the inter-counties cross-country which gets a huge turnout from all areas.

I'm not really complaining about the current situation... it's a great privilege for me to try and select a team (although possibly more a case if i don't do it, who will!).....
