Preston Harriers' fell & trail running section . Some of our fell runners also do cross country and road running, but fell running is our main activity.Fell Running tends to be a Northern sport, the Lake District being the main centre for fell runners. The Harriers are the organizers of Paddy's Pole Fell Race, which usually takes place in June. 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 the chairman of fellblog did the Bob Graham Round in 2005. Fell Runners are not as much bothered about PB's as they are about 3B's ( a local brewery).

Etterick Bridge Weekend         March 23rd  2007

 

A brief  thank you note from Roger & Robyn & lots of running pictures

 

Dear Steve and Jackie,

  Once again, thanks for a fantastic weekend… perfectly organised right down to the weather.

  Ash… I like your study in Gordon’s pit stop frequency. Indeed a carefully practiced pose.

  Cheerio,

  Robyn and Roger

In addition, Helen wants to thank you both (Steve & Jackie) for the way you kindly contributed to her birthday enjoyment, & especially for the lovely cake. Helen seen below at Etterick Bridge on her birthday!

All the above pictures are from Roger & Robyn

 

Blogger Bob & The Iron Lady happened to be in the vicinity doing a little hunting. Landlord Ian quickly stuffed & mounted our best shot of the day, Hamish a rare breed from the Highlands.

In addition to the birthdaying, running & a bit of hunting, others were up to different activities. Some lads seen cycling & sightseeing above.

Whilst Gordon spent some considerable time fishing.

 

I think that Dave Nicks has more pics, but doesn't know my email. Can anyone contact him please?

Previous year's picture below. I think 2005. Was in Harrier Magazine. (Spot the difference?) Memories are made of this. O Simmy, sweet sweet the memories you gave me!

Keeping abreast with our Fell Runnners

Lots of fell runners break away from their original running clubs, mainly because they have no interest in track & field, fell running being their main interest. The fell running section of our club decided to have their own website, probably for the same reason. Now a V70, George Arnold is our oldest active fell runner. There are a few more of us close behind! One of our top female road runners, whilst marshalling at Chipping Show Fell Race 2007 commented on just how friendly fell runners are.

 

Preston Harriers Fell Section :-  FELLBLOG  is the proud fell running section of the famous Preston Harriers Athletic Club. Our athletic club has been around for 126 years. We like to call it famous because it is what Brendan Foster calls us on BBC athletic programmes. We are well represented in Track & Field presently by our pride & joy, Helen Clitheroe.  We also have some accomplished road runners. Our Fell runners are a mixed bunch of beer drinkers, most fell runners seem to be like that! We do run lots of races, as can be seen in the site itself. We have a world record holder Pete Benson, you can read about his feat inside. We are pleased that you have visited our website, which of course is mainly about fell running. The website is based in Riley Green, where the blogger is also Mayor of Riley Green. If you want to see more about the club, you can visit our main site. Click here
