A fair amount of stuff happened this weekend, so I have been compiling this over the last few hours as various results and photos have been trickling in. If I haven’t included you in the report, I can only apologise on your behalf for not letting me know you were off doing something interesting. I …
Yes, this weekend is apparently the long awaited arrival of the Draco meteor shower. Looking out of my window there appear to be small amounts of blue sky right now, so theoretically, if you’re really really lucky, they might still be there later on this evening.

Hodgeson Brothers Relay One of the big events of the fell running year, HBR involves four legs of ‘wet, slippery, miserable fun’ around Patterdale. With two runners on each leg GDH compiled a motley crew of Mark D, Kasia O, Mark H, Charlie E, Ben N, Chris W, Andy O and Jamie H, to be …

As usual I have compiled the news from events I was at, stuff people have mentioned and rumours I have embellished. Thomas wants to …

Mandy ‘Cheese’ Beames, is feigning illness (hiding from her shameful France incident more like), more of you appear to be sunning yourselves on holidays from Mayo to the Alps, and some just are just enjoying long runs …
