Just found this on the fellrunner forum -

http://forum.fellrunner.org.uk/ posted by a first time fellrunner after doing the 7 mile 1200 foot Stanbury Splash fell race today - I think this proves what I said in my ‘what’s going on’ post. 

“My first fell run today and now Ive had a sauna, shower, drink and been fed I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

I have to take my hat off to you guys because today was bloody tough, Iam not shy when it comes to running having got numerous half and full marathons under my belt but this fell running malarky is a total different kettle of fish. If i hadnt been persuaded by big bad baz’s brother in law to do it today i would have done 12-13 miles on the road and believe me i wouldnt be as knackered as I am now.

Apologies to anyone I held up on the “single path” parts but it took me all my time to stay upright and I am also pleased I only fell four times

I wont be a regular as Iam training for the Edinburgh marathon in May but I will definatly incoporate some more fell runs into my training regime.

Cheers”
