Well, the big news of the week is that the moors are on fire – which is not great news. I suppose at least we are now experiencing proper Seasons instead of the general homogeneous semi-permanent rain/grimness that has been the hallmark of the last… ooooh… decade. Despite the heat and dryness there have been …
Thanks to all you lot who sent in stuff for the thing. I’m most grateful not least because my brain is fogged from being up for far too long. Thanks to the 3?4? people who sent me stuff about the RSR – I think Ive incorporated as much of it as I can. Apologies if …

Thanks to contributors Simon Toole, Nev McGraw, Jon Haggart, Marie Williamson and Nick Ham this week. It seems that most of the racing this week was done off the fell and on the trail and road. The glorious weather of the past few weeks gave way to some fairly pleasant temperatures and a bit of …
Whats going on this week? Mid week racing appears to have taken hold, and Paul Skuse, Luke Holme, Pete Wallroth and Alison Holt seem to be racing every single race they possibly can (or at least, appearing in as many photos as possible….) The sun still appears to be shining and we have had 2 …

As Tim is enjoying the Scottish Isles I have offered to do the report for this weeks running and what a fantastic week it has been. Beautiful weather, challenging events and blue and orange going strong. Thank you to the people who have sent me through results and runs then have done. Jura It came …
Right – there was a ridiculous amount of stuff happening this weekend, thankfully I got a lot of help from various quarters with the info and write ups, particular shout outs must go to Paul “word count” Skuse, Els “need a distraction from phil” Swan, Jeroen “tarmac correspondent” Peters, Lynne “collation queen” Taylor and everyone …

A fair few things going on this week. The weather appears to have actually decided that summer has arrived, the flowers are out, the birds are chirping, people are running on the hills without falling into massive bog monsters (mostly) and there are smiles on the faces of the racers. Mostly, though, everyone is enjoying …
Well then. I have to say that there have been a lot of winter miles going on over the past few months – and by crikey, GDH appears to be flying along both socially and in races. Fabulous to see so many people out at the midweekers, but it ain’t just about racing you know. …

Ah – well after last week’s epic report, I’m glad to say that you guys are giving my bloody stumps of fingers a bit of a rest. Thankyou. Some people have been out running, others have been racing, I’ve probably forgotten people, and others haven’t posted to facebook yet. Thanks to Paul, Helen and Jo …
