This is so true. It's nothing to do with fell running anymore and the stronghold of a few opinionated people. Some of them have very provocative, bigoted views and are very rude to people that oppose them. I'm sorry that it's going but its due to a few bigots who have spoilt it for all and put off people who want information and discussion on fell running. It seemed to go down hill during the Brexit debate and got much worse during Covid. I'm sorry as I was approaching entry to The Masters Lounge and was looking forward to supping Tim Taylors and talking bollox with knowledgeable fell runners. And as for allowing a Zionist strap line - I despair, but appreciated the poetry.
