In the Bleak Midwinter II - Unfinished Business: Postsrcipt: Rosie
http://markswinterbgrtwo.blogspot.com/2011/02/postsrcipt-rosie.html
In the Bleak Midwinter II - Unfinished Business. In June 2007 I completed the Bob Graham Round in under 24 hours. In December 2009, blizzards and extreme cold were endured for a midwinter round that took 24 hours and 22 minutes. This coming winter, I'm getting those 22 minutes back, and then some. Sunday, 13 February 2011. Rosie Lydia Smith - aged 6 days. 65279; Funnily enough, not making it already seems a much less bitter pill to swallow. She's fantastic. I'll be back winter BGR, perhaps when I turn 40.

Paddy and me: 8 March - Postponed, possibly...
http://alonewithpaddy.blogspot.com/2012/03/8-march-postponed-possibly.html
Five years after the BG, and two years after a midwinter BG, I'm at it again. This blog charts progress towards a Paddy Buckley Round in summer 2012. The Paddy Buckley Round is a continuous circuit for fell runners (well for anyone really) of 61 miles, climbing 28,000 feet and visiting 47 summits in stunning Snowdonia, hopefully within 24 hours. Thursday, 8 March 2012. 8 March - Postponed, possibly. It's the only choice really. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 8 March - Postponed, possibly. The Borrow...

Going Downhill Quickly: October 2012
http://goingdownhillquickly.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
The blog of two mates who in an effort to get fit took up fell running. Monday, 15 October 2012. The RAB Mountain Marathon 2012 – The Cheviots. The location for the RAB was finally announced in early September as the Cheviots in Northumberland. I’d never been up that way and Albert said he had never really run round there either but we were assured by others that it would make for some good running (not that I do much running in a Mountain Marathon). It was awful so I resorted to my trusty Super Noodles.

Going Downhill Quickly: Another Catch Up
http://goingdownhillquickly.blogspot.com/2014/05/another-catch-up.html
The blog of two mates who in an effort to get fit took up fell running. Tuesday, 13 May 2014. No updates again for a while, not enough hours in the day most of the time! I did enjoy the team scoring element though where even if you finished many places down you were still contributing to the overall results. One of the few places I ran during Autumn despite the dodgy knee/hip - this was coming off Fairfield into Grasmere in between the rain showers. Final descent at Box Hill, great fast grassy running.

Going Downhill Quickly: Ben Nevis Race 2013
http://goingdownhillquickly.blogspot.com/2013/09/ben-nevis-race-2013.html
The blog of two mates who in an effort to get fit took up fell running. Wednesday, 11 September 2013. Ben Nevis Race 2013. No update for a while. I've had quite an 'up and down' summer where running is concerned (pardon the pun). I managed to get a last minute entry to Wasdale where I ended up with my first ever DNF; it was far too warm for me and I got timed out at Pillar. Heading to Sty Head I saw Pauline who took this photo. Topping up at the burn. Then it was just a case of being careful where my lef...

Going Downhill Quickly: June 2011
http://goingdownhillquickly.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
The blog of two mates who in an effort to get fit took up fell running. Wednesday, 22 June 2011. Great Lakes Run 2011 - 13 miles 7000ft. Runners heading up the band that leads onto Bowfell. Strangely enough they did actually feel less slippy, never heard that one before. Heading down off Slight Side we saw a small group heading back up from the west(! Thanks as usual must go to all involved with putting this event on, it really typifies what fell running is all about. Links to this post. I did a couple m...

Going Downhill Quickly: February 2012
http://goingdownhillquickly.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
The blog of two mates who in an effort to get fit took up fell running. Saturday, 18 February 2012. Mark's recent updates reminded me that I hadn't updated this blog myself for quite a while, so here's a few pictures taken in the period since we did Three Shires last September. We were back in Cumbria for a friend's wedding at the end of September and it just so happened to be on the same day as the Scafell Pike Race. Many thanks to Andy Holden. For taking this shot. The runners heading up the hill.

Going Downhill Quickly: June 2013
http://goingdownhillquickly.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
The blog of two mates who in an effort to get fit took up fell running. Sunday, 16 June 2013. Ennerdale Fell Race 2013. Saturday 8 June brought another Ennerdale Horseshoe and a good turnout of runners in the sunshine. I didn't have much of a plan apart from getting round and hoping to at least match my average time of about 6 hours. I got to Pillar about 20 mins before the checkpoint closed and had a drink and a sit down, taking the opportunity to clear the scree from my shoes and socks. From there ...
