Paul's article did appear in a past NFR newsletter but a full colour rendition of the Trophy photo is more fitting. Here's the article with photo. |

29/05/07 Helvellyn Fell Race Phil Green made his debut into Lakeland fell racing with this race at the weekend - perhaps a steep learning curve, definitely a steep descent! Here's his report. |

on the first three legs (cool, bright, dry & breezy)
Paul was hit by hailstones and sleet (!) across Helvellyn
where there was an inch of wet snow on the ground.
Nonetheless, Paul battled on making up time on his
schedule between almost every top and arrived with
a sprint finish at the Moot Hall to the cheers of all. |

23/05/07 New NFR website and new webmaster! The Northumberland Fell Runners website has undergone a complete re-design and features some new pages. Rob Stephens is now taking over the reins from Paul Jameson as webmaster. You should find that the website still retains most of the original content collected over the years, but if I've missed anything, please let me know. Please feel free to submit articles, news, reports, photos etc. which you think may be of interest, whether it's current material or historical. Paul Jameson has promoted the activities of Northumberland Fell Runners for over six years (2001-2007) through his friendly and easy-to-read website. In the days before I joined NFR, I personally found the site immensely useful and it played no small part in my decision to join NFR. The club is indebted to you, Paul, for your time and all your hard work. I hope I can continue to promote the club via this website as well as you have done. - Rob (May 2007) |

They ran from Bowness-on-Solway (at 4.30 am) the length of Hadrian's Wall back to Wylam - a total of around 70 miles non-stop in about 15 and a half hours! - incredible! Dave Hicklenton has written a piece entitled 'A Time to Think' on his thoughts (mostly about the pain!) on this feat of endurance. |
