Preston Harriers' fell running section . 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).

Solstice Night 2006

As though by magic, & as quick as a flash this genie appeared. A rub on the old head torch works wonders.

& Lo it's Joe. The one true cross dresser amongst us.

Simmy & Steve Bamber struggled for a while lighting the fabulous rocket. Then a true boy scout went to their aid.

 

Not all the group can be seen on this snapshot

This is a better shot. Simple solution, the photographer stepped back a little. Sadly though, he fell off.

No official report has yet been received, however someone (a hardy fell runner) was overheard saying that the terrain en route was horrible! Who said that? Can't say, won't say!

Can anyone list all the people on the picture? In the foreground on the right (in black) is the famous John Rainsford. & just behind him in white is the youngest, Andrew Harrison. Colin, his dad, preferred to wait near the bottom of Parlick. Stood up behind Andrew, in yellow, is the oldest, George Arnold. On the extreme right of the picture are the lovebirds, Brian & Eileen. In the middle in yellow & yellow hat is Paul Spyman Griffiths. It's really great to see him on these so rare occasions. However, if seeing Paul means not seeing Kathleen............ well we'll need a meeting over that one!

I mentioned this previously on the message board. I've had some trouble with the dog ever since Solstice Night. He will not remove the veil, preferring to remain indognito. Neither will he sit on the floor any more. He's adopted this "dog in the manger" attitude. He doesn't need the chair, but refuses to let anyone else sit there. I've been advised to introduce a few more dogs to mine, he might then bow wow to Paw Pressure. 

I know this article isn't up to scratch, but thankfully neither is the dog.

 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 recently at Chipping Show Fell Race 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 well over a hundred 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. If you want to see more about the club, you can visit our main site. Click here
