Routes in the North Western Fells. Routes in the Northern Fells. Thursday, 30 May 2013. Making the most of the ‘Spring’ Bank Holiday the family stayed in Grange Fell cottage. For a few days with some friends. I took the opportunity one warm evening to head out for my first fell run in a while. Absence due to London Marathon training definitely made the heart grow fonder! Starting out from Grange head along the road to Manesty. Time for a few photos from the Summit and then head back down the same route.

After the soaking I got at the weekend, I have been thinking that it is time for a new purchase. Like most people, I do not have a money tree in the back garden, most of it goes on nappies and baby food! Trekmates Waterproof Wind Trousers – Tiso 30.00. North Face Mens Venture 1/2 Zip Pants – Tiso 65.00. Those are t...

Martin's Blog: Fells and Fens
http://mcinsley83.blogspot.com/2014/01/fells-and-fens.html
Routes in the North Western Fells. Routes in the Northern Fells. Sunday, 19 January 2014. It has been a while since I last posted on this blog. We live in Cambridgeshire, one of the flattest counties in England. It also contains the UK’s lowest physical point of 2.75m below sea level (Holme Fen). It’s rather ironic that we love spending time in the mountains – enjoying their beauty, walking and running. Cheap, only the cost of petrol. Not much packing required. Kids will sleep in the car on the way home.

Chris's Blog: July 2014
http://chrisupson.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Monday, 7 July 2014. 800 races (of sorts). Here's a full list of my 800 races. As of 5th July 2014. It all started back on 14th May 2000. A lone figure approaching along the Ben Dronaig track. Like Omar Sharif in that haunting scene from Lawrence of Arabia. With tension rising, and wondering whether to stop for a chat, I realised I'd bumped into this chap on Cairnkinna Hill. S brains for top tips on where to start. My back was in agony the whole way round, and I missed the turning below the deer fence co...

Chris's Blog: Paisley 10k
http://chrisupson.blogspot.com/2014/08/paisley-10k.html
Sunday, 31 August 2014. My 5th 10k race in just over 2 weeks after Bella Belter (36:18), SVHC Glasgow 800 (36:57), Irvine Marymass (36:13) and Bute Highland Games (36:12). My 2 targets today were to dip under 36 minutes, and if possible to get 1st V50. I'd not run the Paisley 10k before, but the weather was perfect. Bright and sunny, and not too warm. Plus it was nice to be running on closed off streets for much of the route. I realised as soon as I arrived that my main V50 rival would be Alex Robertson.
