HILL and FELL RUNNING REPORTS 2012

 

Greenmantle Dash - Mon. 2nd. Jan 2012

 

This is the traditional start to the fell season – and it can be early for some. Though some eager types (Nigel, Janet and Johnny) had already started their running season by turning out the day before at Langholm! Well done! 

This is described as:

 

Starting with a mass sprint from the Broughton Brewery to hurdle a

 stonewall, cross playing fields, hurdle fence, wade river, negotiate

 marsh, cross road. Breathe. Then up through turnip fields before hitting

 the base of the steepest hill. Struggle up this and turn with juddering

 legs to hurtle precariously back down, and wind up for the final dash

 along the road to the village hall.                Then catch your breath again.

This is accurate!! It may be short, but can be viscious.

There was a good turn-out from ADAC  (who said the fell-runners were fading away! ), with some close competitions.
