British Fell Relay Championship 

Kettlewell - Saturday 15 October 2011

A message from Fell Captain Richard Howard

This event is always one of the most anticipated dates in the fell calendar and this year really was as good as it gets. Although helped by the glorious Autumn sunshine enhancing the already breathtaking scenery around Kettlewell, Bingley Harriers have to be congratulated for putting on a fantastic day. The organisation and planning was faultlessly professional, with the routes for each leg being devised to provide a variety of terrain and challenges to test the fitness of all types of runner.
It was good to see 2 DDT teams out competing in such a prestigious event. With the Mens team of Simon Browne, Ralph Barker, Phil Ellis, Steve Blackford, Richard Howard and Dave Gill finishing 114th and the Ladies team of Anne Middleton, Christine Blackford, Jan Yates, Charlotte Coleman, Jo Worboys and Rosalind Bedford finishing 177th. We may be a bit behind the big boys, but like our little tent pitched in between those of Bingley Harriers, Keswick AC and other equally illustrious clubs, we were in there amongst them.

Besides the running itself, there was a great atmosphere throughout, with the shared anticipation of runners waiting to set off on their legs and the huge cheers that greeted all runners when they finished, right to the very last one. Few sports can offer the chance for athletes of all standards to compete with the best from all over England, Scotland and Wales. We even had a kindly greeting from our North Welsh brethren and namesakes of sorts, Denbigh Harriers, who finished 5 places in front of our Men's team.
