I’ve never understood the point of road races. Sweaty, gurning testosterone fuelled blokes running expensive races around a course designed by highways engineers. There is no fun or interest I have found in this type of running.

A beautiful Summers day for the short trip to Dipton. A friendly welcome and a not so friendly course. A good turnout from Derwentside A.C. including those who knew what to expect and a few who had no idea.
Borrowdale Fell race was my return to hill racing after the Bob Graham round in June. My Old County Tops partner Dawn Metcalfe knew I had done this race and wanted to try it. Things didn't really go to plan.
