Shelf Moor results are up :-http://fellrunner.org.uk/results/race14/shelfmoor2014.pdfWell pleased with 12th and my legs feel surprisingly OK!
I had a chat with the Staffs Moorland guy (Mini?) on the way back to the car after.....
Well, entry gone in this morning so let's see if I'm accepted. Gulp.

Quote from: galpinos on August 04, 2014, 09:09:17 pm........be prepared to be beaten by some proper old duffers.....I had to take my own advice this weekend as the winner of the V60 category (nearer 70 than 60 he admitted at the prize giving) overtook me on the climb to the fourth "peak", giving me a pat on the shoulder and saying, "Well done Lad, keep them legs turning" before disappearing into the distance!
Small plug for the King John's Castle this weekend just gone. Great running over the Clwyds. Free soup from the community run pub and loads of prizes, all for 4 quid. Not many there this time (hey, top 20!) hate to see it disappear off the calendar.
Any advice on bumbags?Pete Bland, Rock and Run Hipsac Superlite or jazzy OMM/Inov8 effort?I'm leaning towards the Rock and Run, light and simple. The OMM/Inov8 bags look a bit faffy with too many extras. Any experiences?
... looking for a race where you don't need all this bum bag kit... I'm ok if i have to wait until Spring.. what do you guys recommend??
OK, after the endurer dash this weekend my summer long affair with obstacle course races comes to an end. I need a real low end punter fell run to aim for.. the gritstone series seem to have dropped the burbage skyline event.. which would have been perfect ( know the place like the back of my hand, no savage hills, short)... preferably in the Peak.. what's the knowledge? looking for a race where you don't need all this bum bag kit... I'm ok if i have to wait until Spring.. what do you guys recommend??
Galpinos - The OMM 3 litre bumbag is great. It's what I've used for all my fell races. Not fancy at all, you've got the main pouch with a key clip inside, and 2 small mesh pockets on either side of the main pouch (the fit gels in well). I like the elastic cord and clips, it means if the pouch isn't full you can compact it down to stop stuff bouncing about and it's built to last.
