Fell Running

MPS 2025

Another year, another MPS trip. Penruddock was calling, and after the usual Friday-night excitement of continual arrivals we reconvened on Saturday morning for a trip around the northern fells.

Pub

Went to the pub with Alex. We talked about washing up.

Mid F***ing Wales

Off to mid-Wales last Saturday, eventually arriving at New Radnor – not a location I’d visited before, but one which held three Hewitts in close proximity to one another.

Highlands and Islands

We seem to have settled into a pattern of having trips away around May each year, I think because the weather’s starting to perk up but places aren’t too busy. That was certainly the case as we headed to Aviemore for the first week of our Scottish trip last year (yes, it’s taken me 12 months to get around to writing this up!).

Spine Sprint 2022

I volunteered on the Spine Safety Team in 2017, being stationed at Hebden Bridge and Hawes over the few days I helped out. I learned a few things, including that I didn’t really want to do the race because it looked miserable.

The Corris Round

I am one of a fairly exclusive bunch of runners to have completed the Corris Round. But that’s more due to the fact that it was only created in August 2020 than because of any running prowess on my part.

Kinder Dozen

I first found out about the Kinder Dozen from Tim about five years ago, and I knew that the general advice was: (1) it’s a long day out; (2) don’t do it in summer because the bracken’s a nightmare. Point (2) will become quite pertinant.
