Oops! I posted That by mistake before I had written anything.... Try again.
At Last, after several years of plodding up and down hills I feel like I can finally call myself a fell runner.
Since 2008 I have had the privilege of running on Peak District moors, Lakeland fells and Welsh mountains and have headed out in snow, rain and sunshine, completed mountain marathons and B/short to A/long races(well I shuffled around at the Back of the pack) but somehow it still never felt right calling myself a fell runner.
That is until now.
Taking my mudclaws off after this years Edale Skyline and looking at my feet, there it was, my first Black toenail. At last I have earned the right to call myself a fell runner.

ReplyDeleteNot a walk I've yet been able to fit it, but it is high on the 'to-do' list.
I always used to catch the Hope Valley train from Manchester to Sheffield in my Uni Days, and I always loved the scenery.
Thanks Ross Its a Peak District classic.

DeleteIt was a bit too hot for me but we did have some great views.
The weather for our run this morning (two weeks after the skyline)was high winds and snow.
