The Chevy Chase
YC ran the Chevy Chase on Saturday. This is a 20 mile fell race from Wooler and climbs the two highest hills in Northumberland - Cheviot and Hedgehope. YC finished in 11th place in 3 hours 32 minutes. This was 15 mins slower than last year, which YC attributes to a combination of a hot day and boggy conditions underfoot and NOT his training on beer over the last year.
