Fell Running


6th December, 2015 – Cardington, Shropshire. Yet another remarkably mild day greeted the competitors in the 2015 running of the Cardington Cracker fell race down in the rolling hills of Shropshire.

1st November I’ve been reliably informed that the Penmaenmawr fell raise is the oldest fell race in Wales. Not sure whether this is true or not but is must be classified as one of the most popular – entry is only possible on-line and the maximum 250 places were all […]

1st November 2015 – Cilcain Fell runners tend to be a fairly hardy bunch in many respects. Whilst an image of crusty aged individuals prancing round sodden moorland in the teeming rain wearing nothing more than an old vest and implausibly short shorts might not be entirely accurate there is […]

Saturday 30th September – Report by Simon Roberts   There is something remarkable about the last weekend in September.

Sticklepath Horseshoe Fell Race, Dartmoor, Devon


Gladstone 9 – 9th August, 2015.   Whilst many fell races require a significant effort in navigation just to arrive at the start the Gladstone 9 is a simple hop down the A55 which means getting there is a relaxed affair. On arrival the weather was glorious –  warm and […]

Gladstone 9 Race Report


Race Report by Rob Mackey   Two races in two nights! In a sensible world, on a cool wet windy Wednesday evening everyone should stay in and watch telly. It’s probably something mind-bogglingly interesting about baking, or 24 hours in the life of a dull person. But it’s not a […]
