The fell running section
of Preston Harriers. Some of our fell runners also do cross country and road
running, but fell running is our main activity. Our junior fell runners are in a
keen fell running section, you can read about them in juniorfellblog
below. Preston Harriers running club was
established in 1881. Mick McLoughlin our chairman of fellblog recently did
the Bob Graham Round. Fell Runners are not as much bothered about PB's as they
are about 3B's ( a local brewery).

Ash
presents Pete Carter with the prize for his time guess of within 5 secs. The
route was down from Paddy's Pole, taking in part of the Chipping Show Fell Race,
and ended near Chipping Chair Works.
Poor
Matt Nash had his time guessed by his Mum. Karen was unaware of the finishing
point, and had guessed her time (& Matt's) down to the car park!
Teachers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just
one thing missing.................. a top quality photograph. I put it
down to camera shake, due to Sweeney's unexpected visit. I was certainly miffed,
fully expecting at least an apology for her "Very Old Men" statement
on the message board. A pacifying pint might have broken the ice.
It
was good to see again Pete McDermott after an absence of around 46 yrs. The last
time I saw him he was in shorts..... Perhaps Roy might ask him to join the
Harriers?

before camera shake & reflective shades of gold.
