29th March – Dovedale. By Nicola Pennington After my rather cocky arrogant, “ I can run up any hills without the need for a recce, compass or map” attitude and subsequent disastrous Winter Tour of Bradwell, I thought it best that if I was to continue this fell running lark I’d better get some training …
Well I thought it would be but as it turns out, it wasn’t really. The weather has been atrocious once again, and there was only three races with Harriers featuring. However there was a whole lot of news, recce’s and training aplenty. This report wont sustain you for the usual Sunday night drinking session and …

It was all set up to be a battle at Wrexham half this weekend! The second race of the year in the club road/trail championship and no doubt many Harriers had packed their passports for the journey to Wales, but alas, with the course already affected by Storm Ciara last weekend the impending Storm Dennis …

A weekend of 2 halves. The Saturday was a delight. Sunshine and a little breeze. Certainly the calm before the storm. If you were going to get out this weekend, that was the day to do it. Sunday was a slightly different matter with the incoming Storm Ciara… weather warnings for rain and wind and …

Am I referring to the weather, the future of the country, or the potential law suit from a certain Mexican brewer, after some burk decided to name a pandemic flu virus after their product? I’ll let you decide. Surrounded by half completed DIY jobs which are likely to stay that way, I’m back this week …

This week seems to have been a relatively quiet week for Team GDH – still some racing and an awful lot of training and reccying which suggests that there are going to be some awesome race reports over the coming weeks and months. Burbage Trail Race (courtesy of Pete Wallroth and Nick Ham) From Pete…well, …
To start on a high note, tomorrow is the worst day of the year. Official. Bank accounts are quivering with fear. Dry-January, veganuary, and all those other good ideas are beginning to seem a bit rubbish. BUT not so for us Harriers – we should be celebrating our race successes of the weekend and looking …
Well, as sure as day follows night, you could probably have pretty much guaranteed the weather this weekend as soon as the weather gods knew the Spine and the Trigger were happening. They were kind though and they let those running XC this weekend off with a dry day! But sure enough…as it started to …

It’s been quite the end of year and beginning of a new one this week. Janus-like, we look back and look forward…. actually, no, we don’t really. It’s all historical here, to be honest. There were races, there was other stuff going on, but if you didn’t tell me about it, or I didn’t find …
