Another Black Combe Recce

I'm hoping to have another run round the Black Combe race route this Sunday if anyone is up for a run. I cant get away from work until 12 but I hope to be there by 1:30. I can give some lifts if anyone can get to Buttermere for 12.

Provisional results can now be found at the NFR website (http://www.northumberlandfellrunners.co.uk/html/raceresults/2008/HighCupNick-08-results.txt) along with some photos from the race.

Well done to all Keswick runners for daring the "interesting" conditions on top of the Nick but special mention for Carol, Trudy and Debbie who secured the ladies team prize.

For Sale - Montrail Continental Divide size UK 8 as new. Suit mild to over pronators as they have a medial post built in.

cracking fell run today

Todays run over Ard Crags, Knott Rigg and Robinson was enjoyed by several club members. After awakening to a msity damp morning in cockermouth it was a real reward to get up high and run above the clouds in 'costa del newlands'. Amazing views good company and a pint to finish it off. Lynn - hope you enjoyed your run back over causey.
thanks all, John.

Munro Bagging - fell running with an ice axe

Interesting week-end just gone - ice climbing in fell shoes on saturday, white outs on Beinn Dearg near Blair Atholl on Sunday and getting (nearly) swept away by the river at the back of the kingshouse when camping sat night.....

any-one out there interested in sharing a ride/fuel etc on the next one? nothing left East of the A9 or North of the Ullapool road so will be West/North west Highlands.

Blake's Heaven

Further to Trudy's blog entry below, results for the above race can now be found at http://www.c-f-r.org.uk/blakeresults_08.htm. It was fantastic to see a great turn out once again from Keswick and some excellent performances were put in. Keep your eyes open for a more comprehensive report in the Reminder later next week.

And for those who chose to forego the social run today, I'm afraid to report that you really missed out. A lovely morning run was capped off with an excellent lunch courtesy of Nick and Ann Lawler; the poached eggs were to die for! A big thank-you for your kind hospitality.

I am currently studying and traning to become a remedial massage therapist. In the near future I will be looking for volunteers for me to treat in order to build up a portfolio of case studies. For me I gain experience in examination, diagnosis and treatment of musclo-skeletal complaints, for the volunteers they get free treatment (which would normally cost around £25-30 per hour!!!). Please let me know if you would be interested in helping me build my new career! I obviously have a personal interest in sports related injuries but I am also happy to treat other problems such as repetitive strains, digestion problems, poor circulation.....the list is endless really.
Quentin, I have added a comment to your blog regarding your current complaint.
thanks John.

Blake's Heaven and John and Trudy's run

Well I'm now full of cold after my first fell race of the year! Typical! What a fantastic course and a good show from Keswick AC with Pippa showing us girls how to do it in fine style! Well done lady! Lets hope for a great year ahead for everyone.

After much deliberation, John and I thought the best way to celebrate our wedding with you all would, of course, be a run. It's now on the club calendar for Sunday 23rd March. Hope you can all make it and come for a social in the Scafell afterwards.


Hooray for fell running!
Trudy
