Hi. Does anyone have any experience of using one of those hydration systems built into a bumbag (eg Camelbak Flashflo) as an alternative to carrying drinking bottles (which I hate)? If so, can you recommend one that is light and comfortable, yet has enough storage space for obligatory fell racing equipment (ie waterproofs, map, compass, whistle)?
Cheers
Quentin

old crown round - record
don't suppose anyone knows the record for the old crown round - (Carrock Gt Cockup Skiddaw Blencathra - 18M 5,700') - Seem to think it's around the 3 hr 20 mark. Richard Unwin had it at one time - does this still stand. No-one in the old crown seemed to know. I had a jog round last wednesday evening in 3 27 though that was fairly steady. A couple of good distance runners pushing the pace should be able to get close to the 3 10 areas without much ado.

Stuc a Chroin, British fell Champs –Saturday 2nd May
This tough 14m/5000’ race in the Trossachs was the venue for the second race and long counter of the British Fell Championship this year on Sauturday. Pippa Jackson (2.23.33) placed well up the field in 49th overall to claim 2nd place in the ladies, behind course record holder Angela Mudge. Dave Spedding showed he is in good fettle by running 2.46.54 to take 2nd MV60 (93rd overall). Well done to the Keswick AC ladies who ran themselves into the British Championship team bronze medal position after this race (championships), again fielding a strong team -a welcome return to the fold for Cathrine Evans who followed Pippa home in 3.24.34 to place 39th lady, followed by Jo Gillyon in 3.25.51 for 41st lady –less than 90 seconds separating the pair after 14miles and 5000’ of running.

This was a friendly and enjoyable evening 10K in South Cumbria. There was a good turnout wanting to enjoy the nice sunshine and cool breezes.
But only two from Keswick made the journey South to contest on an undulating course. Steve Hebblethwaite has set the 10K standard for 2009 finishing 5th in 35:23 and setting a personal best time. Ian Davies finished 18th overall in 38:36.
Moorclose on the 19th May is the next local 10K and is a Club Championship counter. See the races section on the website; pre-entry is advised.
