Beacon Hill Fell Race

YC ran his third fell race in 6 days on Thursday night. The Beacon Hill race is held at Lordenshaw car park, near Rothbury and heads up and down the flank of Simonside a few times. It packs 1,500 feet of climbing into its 6 miles and is surprisingly rough under foot. The views over The Cheviots on a cool summer evening were excellent. YC finished 10th (there were more than 10 people running) in just under an hour. After all that running, he is now off down south to see if the southern beer is up to scratch.
