On Saturday - the Flower Scar Fell Race at Todmorden in the Calder Valley. An English Championship 5 mile race in which Mrs OC was flying the flag for Northumberland Fell Runners. YC was official supporter, and managed an amble up Flower Scar hill. Mrs OC ran appreciably harder - finishing 17th overall in the ladies' race and 2nd lady vet.
On Sunday - the Brough Law fell race. Another 5 miler in the Ingram Valley in the beautiful Cheviots. YC and Chris Smith ran this one and endeavoured to follow in Mrs OC's slipstream (more training needed chaps....) The weather was on the brisk side with a chilly breeze, but a good time was had by all at this early season race. And now, readers will be relieved to learn, YC has had his tea...
