22/05/13 Humbleton Fell Race recce, Thursday May 30th:

  • Here are the arrangements for meeting up from Dexter

19/05/13 Bob Graham Round: "John Telfer put in an heroic attempt at the BGR on Saturday. Starting at 7am going anti clockwise John got round in a little over 25 hours in extremely testing conditions. The clag was down low for virtually the whole time with persistent heavy rain on Legs 1 and 2 and the odd shower on Legs 3, 4, and 5. All the navigators did a fantastic job finding the route and John's family proved to be tremendous road crew. I think I can speak for everyone involved that it was a pleasure being in the company of someone who is a credit to NFR.
Well done John
." - Paul Appleby

NFR ladies were Steph and Lisa Taylor. A bit of a sore start to the series for race selector John Duff who had to hobble back after only a mile of running due to an awkward encounter with a hole!



icy climb

27/02/13 High Cup Nick: Graham Bingham writes: "Five years I've missed this run through injury and other commitments, and the way the weather was on Saturday in the North East I thought it was going to be another year!
Pleasant surprise at Dufton - the conditions were ok. The run itself was a great run, it had a lot of ice on the last 2 meters of climb on the Gorge, at which point I had to lend a hand to a fellow runner on the climb up.
