was tough,cannot believe i ran 26.48 coming off top of royd moor felt like you were still going up hill in that wind,so all in all well happy with the way i ran,more than made up for last sundays shocking run in the crosscountry.- baldeagle, 2009-11-25

YES! I only managed to drop ONE place this time. From 34th to 35th. Don't think I'll get another bottle of wine this year. Well done to everyone concerned, Anne and Keith and Martyn and the road crossing person at Millhouse. Ran a far more even race than the last and finished in more or less the same time. Good considering it was blustery in places. Sorry that Julie couldn't make it. I still think that she should get the 25 pts due to her being an International runner.- SoreenEater, 2009-11-24

The chips are served! Same results link as below. It certainly makes a difference to people at the back. Wonder if it is worth waiting a minute or so before setting off, let everyone bump and barge and then have a clearer run?- SoreenEater, 2009-11-16

Chip times will be out some time tomorrow. What is the ruling on chip times? If someone is slower than their PB on gun time but faster on chip time........?- SoreenEater, 2009-11-15

Excellent weather conditions. Lee Storey was 1st PFR runner home. Said he would probably do sub 40. Just managed 36:15! Photo and results are below. www.flamingphotography.co.uk/portfolio77698.html - SoreenEater, 2009-11-15

Best of luck to everyone. Hope the wind dies down. Don't mind the rain too much.- SoreenEater, 2009-11-13

Apologies re spelling mistakes! Too much mud on my fingers! Disappoint, one, etc etc- SoreenEater, 2009-11-09

who's 365 days a year always flued injured shaun d member of pfr ????,a massive well done to all who braved the sh*te weather in the most competitive races in south yorkshire young and old well done again.- baldeagle, 2009-11-08

Mud, mud glorious mud. Nothing quite like it really. On or two PFR's turned up for this two lapper. If you like mud and water and more mud and water, then this one never diasappoints. I'd had my hair done especially for that Flaming Photographer (some great shots on his web site), and tried to make sure that I didn't look too stressed and out of breath. Shame it didn't work. Steady first lap and then put the gas on to try and catch Newcasl. Didn't manage it though. Damien was well up the front, while Alan Knox, Pete Stanley and myself were somewhere further back. Thought there might have been more there. Saw Shaun D who managed a 2nd place and probably Yorkshire Vet Champion even though he was injured.- SoreenEater, 2009-11-08

Disappeared! Sorry.- SoreenEater, 2009-11-03

Well, I'm slipping down the leaderboard quite nicely. From 2nd to 18th to 34th. Hmmm. That's a drop of 16 places each time. 4th race should see me in 50th spot! LOL! Thanks to all those that gave up their time to make sure that the race ran smoothly. Being passed by a group on the way down the steep hill was a sure sign that I'd nothing in the tank. Julie just whizzed by on the way up to Royd Moor and disappear into the moonlight.- SoreenEater, 2009-11-03

Change of plan due to half term. Juniors racing tonight. Hill work instead. Flat stuff next time. Birthday and parents' evening so I can't make it.- SoreenEater, 2009-10-15

Thought Keith did a good job with handicaps last night. Wasn't much time / distance between 1st and last at the bottom of Rockside.- Mouth Almighty, 2009-10-14

DARK! But the conditions were really good. Lots of freebies fron the Lucozade lady. I'm going to have a carbo bar and gel for breakfast, the same for lunch and then double that for tea! Will it make me run faster? 2nd last time, 18th this time. Ah well.- SoreenEater, 2009-10-13

Look how good or bad a photo you take on this website www.flamingphotography.co.uk/portfolio67567.html - SoreenEater, 2009-08-21

The race was far easier than finding the venue! Good little 2 lapper. Well done to everyone who ran.- SoreenEater, 2009-08-20

Not usually here for this bit of tarmac. Now I know why. Last time I attempted this one it was VERY hot. I don't do hot. I hate running in the heat. I drank as much as I could last night and this morning but I still don't think it was enough. Stuart W was there and two young ladies from the club. Apologies for not knowing their names. I should go to the club more often and then I'd know them. It was hot all the way round with hardly a breath of wind. Won't do it again in a hurry. Enter on the day if the weather looks rough.- SoreenEater, 2009-08-09

Good turnout, not sure how many, and a good event, before, during and after the run, with live music and some decent beer. Lee Storey maintained his dominance of the mens race and Julie Buckley her dominance of the Ladies race, followed in by Ellie Bishop.- Mouth Almighty, 2009-07-05

Good champs turnout again, especially for a fell race! Thanks to everyone for your support. Hopefully the new route didn't put any of you off, it was tougher than expected with 2 ascents up the hill. No results available as yet. Race organiser has promised to email me them.- muddysox, 2009-07-09

Someone reported back that the river levels were very low but the water level on the return track was well above knee level. Thanks for the lone of the umberella Mr Goodwin but the rain came through it. Got Brent to hold it (and the umberella) when the lightening started.(:- Mouth Almighty, 2009-06-24

That was some run! I started running 18 years ago and I've never encountered conditions like that before. The puddle of manure on the track turned into a swamp of s**t by the time we returned. Bring it on! AND I took the wrong route to the second river crossing. The track was wider than the M1. I should definitely be quizdollified! www.wotastormingrun.co.oxspring - SoreenEater, 2009-06-22

Another fantastic turnout - 28 runners. Champs sheet now updated. Thank you for your support s264172476.websitehome.co.uk/pfrchamps.htm - muddysox, 2009-06-21

It was a toughie! Not quite so many PFR as previous champs races....I reckon I know why. I didn't expect the start, straight up a grass bank in the woods, everyone for themselves! Then 5 miles of up down, up down. Not one of my better efforts, but I finished. Results aren't up yet, but when they are I'll do the biz with the champs sheet.- muddysox, 2009-05-17

The results are now published on the fellsman website. Nicky Spinks 12th (14:00), Mark Pearce 68th (17:05), Brent Lindsay 207th (25:10).- KingSnail, 2009-05-13

An excellent day out. No chance of keeping Robin at bay this time - what a run. It certainly paid to start steady and save the sprint for later, confirmed by the split times - passing about 27 people on each of the timed legs finishing in 4:28:45. Biggest challenge of the day was managing to down 8 Strawberry and Banana gels without puking - but it kept the man-cramp at bay.- KingSnail, 2009-04-27

Big vote of thanks to Scab for persuading me to do this one. The last couple of times in this race, I've been suffering at Hill Inn and ready to pack in. No training, meant a steady approach at the start and any sign of feeling good at any point, was controlled with a "save it for later!". Everyone had a game plan and stuck to it, which was sensible. Nicky went off, and by Pen Y Gent, Shaun, Mark and myself had got ourselves into survival mode. Starting at the back was a good idea. Whernside was tough but manageable. Hill Inn? Felt fine....... Okay, here we go. Top of Inglebugger and time to pass some of the people cramping up big time. Tiring somewhat but no cramp. Tried to keep up with Ian from Dark Peak. At PYG I was in 410th Ribblehead 314th Whernside 267th Hill Inn 250th Ingleboro 207th Finish 196th Hills are my strong point - 47 people passed up Whern and 43 up Ingleboro. Actually managed a PB! Robin Clough from Barnsley chased me down and with another field or two ...... Try next year Robin, but I WON'T be doing it! Everybody had a great day and achieved what they wanted to. Well done Nicky for being 5th lady and a super prize. Thanks again Scab for putting up with me. siera.sportident.co.uk/threepeaks/competitor.php?id=580 - SoreenEater, 2009-04-26

Results are up on the website, along with the points totals for the season. Fill yer boots. www.undeadmonkey.org.uk/trunce - KingSnail, 2009-04-21

That was certainly different. Well done to Shaun D for winning it. Must be great to see the front runners. Ran as fast as I could but decidely slower than last week. Needed a few hills. Good traffic free course and the field were certainly spread out. Thought it might be difficult to pass people; no worries there, they were mainly passing me! Well done to everyone from Penistone. Can't wait to see the results, especially to find out if we've moved up a spot in the Seniors and Vets. Very close at the top between BH and Sheff RC - just 22 secs.- SoreenEater, 2009-04-15

Spare spot in a car? Scrounger soreeneater!- SoreenEater, 2009-04-09

Results are up. Does anyone know if it's the best 3 results to count or ALL 4?- SoreenEater, 2009-04-11

The wind died down and it was warmer than my t shirt thought it might be. Seemed to be a lot of clubs there and a good few runners. Well done to everyone who helped out. Does anyone have a spare car seat for next week's run at Doncaster?- SoreenEater, 2009-04-08

Still a few short for this. Can probably cope with numbers I have but another 3 or 4 would make it comfortable.- Mouth Almighty, 2009-04-03

Sorry Andy, me and the family enjoyed our marshalling duties last year but unfortunately we will be on our hols for this year's race. Mind you there will be plenty of other willing volunteers.- Scab, 2009-03-31

Looking for marshals for this race please. I will be asking at the club for volunteers.- Mouth Almighty, 2009-03-30

Fantastic evening for running, a little cool to stand about for an hour though. Superb turn out, gets a little scary though when the new reg line is as big as the established runner line. What would happen if everyone tirned up at once. A big thanks to everyone that helps out, it wouldn't happen without you all. Apologise to the Charlesworths, shouldn't have registered juniors at the van, fingers slapped and will not happen again. (Blame Brent). Thanks to Brent for the help with registering and biggest thanks to Mark Pearce for the web site and results service, which got the results out, nearly right, by 20:38. Considerint the number of runners and new registered, a stalwart job. Thank you all.- Mouth Almighty, 2009-03-30

Perhaps you should give Max Clifford a ring, he might be your Press agent for a fee.- Grinah, 2009-04-01

Case closed I would suggest. The orange cap is sufficient evidence as to his guilt as there are 350 witnesses to the fact that he ran with his arse hanging out of his trollies. I favour disqualification simply to elevate me into the position of 1st club member back. P.S. Me, thee and Cheating Ripon seem to be excluded from the Edale piccies on the club's front webpage. There are loads of Charley and he's surely not as photogenic!!!- Scab, 2009-03-31

... I'll get the rope... do we turn up at the club with pitch forks and torches on Tuesday night then? I think we should have a hat and arse identity parade? However, the mystery is solved by clicking the link... www.dpfr.org.uk/album/2009/Skyline/slides/DMC-TZ5%20229.php - KingSnail, 2009-03-30

From the Fra Forum on the heinous crime of cutting the Ringing Roger zig-zags: " was the offender wearing an orange cap and had his ar*se hanging out of his tights? I saw him cutting the zig-zags....I think someone shouted as he undertook them but that cut no ice with him.....He seemed to know all the DPFR's....tosser". Laugh - I nearly wet me sen - so who might that be I wonder?? Watch out there's a gonna be a lynching.......- Scab, 2009-03-30

"Get a tan on the Edale Skyline" - there is something just so wrong about that statement although true it certainly is. Today I'm sporting some fine tan lines and remarkably me pins feel fine. The 1st time I've got round without the wheels falling off and destroyed my previous best time to boot. Have finally discovered the secret of getting through distance races....food. Results aren't up yet but all Penistoners were well pleased with their performances from Simon Ripon blasting round in 3,1/2hrs (with his a*se hanging out his tights) to Pornstar Brett and Grizzly Adams Griffiths who comfortably got through the cut off. Not forgetting a terrified Jano Cockerton at the start who was wearing a large smile at the finish. Statto Pearce and Ian Charley made up the rest of the contingent but were left very much in the wake of the truly awesome scab! Helping out were Anne at kit check (no favours given!) Nick Cable (wearing a fat man's suit) marshalling on Mam Tor and not forgetting Bob Innes who ferry'd goods for Jane to each corner of the race. A truly great day out on the fells although I'd rather have been fly fishing!"- Scab, 2009-03-30

Hope u all enjoy the run. It's better than hot weather Mark? You might find a flask of hot soup on the way round that someone has dropped.- SoreenEater, 2009-03-27

Looks like the weather's getting ready for Sunday...- KingSnail, 2009-03-25

results have been updated on our club champs sheet. Fantastic turnout of 36, thanks everyone. One day I might make it to one of these champs races myself! s264172476.websitehome.co.uk/pfrchamps.htm - muddysox, 2009-04-01

Great race! Really pleasing to see a local race so well supported. If we don't use them we'll lose them. Nice run there and back, veggie carryig slowed me down from Hoylandswaine.- SoreenEater, 2009-03-28

Indeed - he picked my best features!! The 1 of Sarah is very good and also 1 of Grizzly Adams (perhaps that should be "Griffin Adams"). Top race and probably the driest underfoot I've done it. Shame that all the way round I was wondering how the hell I was going to be able to do x4 the distance at Skyline. Ho hum.- Scab, 2009-03-24

GREAT picture of you Scab! picasaweb.google.co.uk/GeoffBriggs1959/LadSLeap2009#5316493178335523714 - SoreenEater, 2009-03-23

Super day out. Select field of 86 runners. Made it much easier to get over the stile near the start. Pleased to see a mate from the past. Dave Smith, who ran for BH many moons ago (knee problem), turned up for a long awaited run on the moors. Fifteen mins into the race and he went flying! Luckily, no problems. Nine runners from PFR, one I've not heard of before; A Peter Sankey? I saw Pete Stanley, who seems to have been missed off the results sheet. Ah well. Congratulations to Scab, first PFR runner over the line (12th spot) in 55:16. Conditions were much better than last year. I'd type out the results but I'm too lazy.

Well done that man. Paul Griffiths was also out flying the flag for Penistone. Some pics on the Flaming Photography site. Think Alex and myself were around the 28, 29 30th positions according to the photos.- SoreenEater, 2009-03-08

Twas the 4th member I couldn't think of and pressed wrong button before naming MAG. Have apologised to him personally. Think its classed as a senior moment.- Mouth Almighty, 2009-03-08

Can't image why,you could't think of third Penistone member of Mark's team. You have slept with him often enough!!(in a Mountain Marathon sense)- Grinah, 2009-03-08

... and the "B" team (Mark Pearce, Martyn Goodwin, Andy Green, Warwick Newton) came in in a time of 12:39. We had lost quite a lot of time after a number of navigation problems in the thick fog through the night, but once we were out of the clouds at Wain Stones, managed to overtake at least 7 other teams. Feeling sore this morning though.- KingSnail, 2009-03-08

Just heard from one of our teams, Ian C; John R; Simon R and Nicky S. 4th overall and 1st mixed team in a fantastic time of 10hrs 23mins. Went to see them at the Snake summit but missed them by 20 minutes.Saw other PFR contingent, Mark Pearce, Andy Green and ??? about an hour behind the others. Will post their results when found.- Mouth Almighty, 2009-03-07

Fantastic turnout and brilliant results. Thanks everyone, got the new champs season off to a flyer. The results will be up on the new champs website soon. Just waiting to confirm category of 2 runners that I don't have on my member list. Thanks for your patience.- muddysox, 2009-02-24

Well done Ladies? and Gents on team prizes at Huddersfield 10K. Also good showing in Category prizes.- Grinah, 2009-02-22

A fantastic weekend was had by all that attended. 6 of us went, Bob and Jane, Trish and Duncan and Sarah and me. Snow was in abundance on the slopes of the Pentland Hills which made the winning time "slow", 53 minutes in comparison to 47 minutes last year. I managed a PB by 16 seconds recording a time of 83:04 Bob was next in 95 minutes; Trish in 96 minutes and Jane in 99 minutes. Duncan got very cold at the finish and Sarah enjoyed the delights of the coffee bars in Edinburgh. The race was filmed by Scottish TV to be shown at the end of March. All 6 of us went to Chop Chop, a new Chinese resteraunt, for a wonderful meal and then "did" the old town bars starting with some beer and finishing the night with a wee dram (or 3).

Good running that Mark, pity scab wasn't there you could have got two scalps.- Grinah, 2009-02-08

A nice cold sunny day with lots of snow to flounder about in. Simon Rippon was first PFR member back in 4:05:37 (45th), followed by Mark Pearce in 4:15:38 (61st) and Ian Charlesworth in 4:16:02 (62nd). Nicky Spinks beat us all finishing in 3:55:58 (34th) to claim 1st LV40 prize. Results on the CVFR website... www.cvfr.co.uk - KingSnail, 2009-02-08

well what can i say 2nd again and i led it for so long nea mind i will just keep chipping away,my time will come(i hope),oh and the results just ignore 3,4 and fifth it looks like a sprint finish it was'nt thank the lord,they took a wee short cut in the last mile or so,me and dave taylor(dark peak)were well clear but in defence to the lads they should have been a marshall at the point they went wrong but these things happen,thanks to the shouts of support round the coarse and well done to all club members who ran today,and as always a fantastic race.- baldeagle, 2009-02-01

An interesting morning out. Some good orienteering by Dave and myself. Good route choices apart from the first one and the ........................ Only joking.- SoreenEater, 2009-02-01

Well done to Rick and Andy!- SoreenEater, 2009-01-26

I didn't mean your other half when I said idiot! There were 2 points in the race where the guy in front went left while the one in front of him went right. On the first occasion I made the right decision, 2nd time round it didn't seem to make any difference and I THINK Russell tagged in behind me. I NEVER look behind. If someone is going to pass me then they will. We were together at Higger and one second between us at the end. Good running, a vote of thanks for pushing me along. Finished 3rd VET over 50 and with a bit of detective work on the first 2 M50's in front, I know I was the first V55. Dead chuffed with that. Confidence is growing. All that green tea is doing me good. See you on Thursday Muddysox?- SoreenEater, 2009-01-27

I'll pass on the vote of thanks to the 'other half' since you were somewhere near him for most of the race! He wasn't sure who to follow either!- muddysox, 2009-01-27

Cracking race but I still prefer the original route and everyone running the same paths. Twice during the race I was unsure which "idiot" to follow! Difficult underfoot but a big vote of thanks to Totley AC who always put on very runner friendly races. Thanks Don and team- SoreenEater, 2009-01-25

Eh, I was 1st V55. AND I was only having a steady run! (he he)- SoreenEater, 2009-01-19

Fantastic conditions for the 6 Penistoners that made it to this. Can't remember basking in sunshine and lying down in the grass at the finish line in January before! Damian "666" Kilpin ran a storming 29:53 and 11th overall in a field with some big guns firing - Lloyd Taggert, Simon Bond and winner Simon Bailey etc. Elsewhere -16. Ginge 30:50; 42. Soreen Clagged Teeth 33:53; 64. Fave Doster 37:31; 80. Keith "I'd rather be Stateside" Gordon 39:19; 88. Babs Haigh 39:59 and 1st Lady v60. Just perfect in every way - where were you??- Scab, 2009-01-19

Some pictures from the Boundary Run here.... www.dpfr.org.uk/album/2008/Bradfield%20Boundary/index.php - KingSnail, 2009-01-01

This was an excellent day out. The bacon sandwiches at Langsett were a welcome treat. Finishing in under 12 hours proved a challenge, but it's amazing that there's always enough left in the tank to sprint the last half mile! 21 runners completed the course, including Martyn Goodwin, Anne Beresford, Nicky Spinks and Mark Pearce from PFR.- KingSnail, 2008-12-30

Fab day out! 4 Penistoners there and we all made it round. Some looked a bit more spritely than others at the end. Despite painful knees and swollen feet, think I'd like to go back next year for more. It was a brilliant event, start to finish.- muddysox, 2008-12-28

Did someone collect my prize for 1st Santa....correction - Lady Santa?? Him having had a skin full the day (and night) before I swear I saw Gary Dean ordering his 1st pint within 10mins of him crossing the line. What a fine role model. Performance from the season from Baldeagle surely with his magnificent 2nd place. I assume that the club won the team prize but any others?- Scab, 2008-12-22

What an improvment with the route. For a road race it has always had its atractions but even more so now, Well Done Denby Dale for improving an already topping race.- Mouth Almighty, 2008-12-21

Results are on the Denby Dale website- SoreenEater, 2008-12-21

Tough course! Not done this race for donkey's years and now I know why. Having said that, it was nice to get on the road and see how the training has been going. Bad week at work, more germs flying around than in a doctor's surgery. Mile 4 to 5 was a toughie with the wind. Every time I went by people on the uphill sections, they came by me on the downhill. Pleased with the time, looking forward to the Liversedge Half in February. Well done to everyone today.- SoreenEater, 2008-12-21

Lots of HOT TODDY! I said, "TODDY!" Hope to see more of you there than at the last one. BUT not 100's! A cold one?- SoreenEater, 2008-12-10

Well done that team!- SoreenEater, 2008-12-16

PFR team were 84th from 117 in 8 hrs 51 mins 45 secs. A fine day out in some different muddy bits.- Mouth Almighty, 2008-12-16

Which is why I said "in the mix" - I used up bags of energy clawing my way through the field ao the 1min 25 was a greater handicap than it suggests. But you right the slip of a lad would still have done for me. Anyway, what you doing on here - you should be with the masses in Meadowhall??- Scab, 2008-12-15

The maths doesn't support your claim that you would have stuffed him I'm afraid. 1 minute 25 seconds wasn't late enough. And as for "pulling a calf" are you sure it wasn't a sheep?- KingSnail, 2008-12-12

Managed to miss the start by 1min 25secs after rescuing a frozen 'er outdoors and her trusty push-bike from the top of Woodhead Pass. Got some strange looks as I worked my way through the field. Post race was left with a blown left calf no doubt caused by getting straight out of car and into race mode. I know I would have stuffed Kilpin if I had been in the mix!! Results: 18 Lucky Kilpin 41:16; 24 Ginge Latecomer 43:15 (unofficial 41:50); 80 Bob In Ness 53:41; 91 Jane Choccie Cake Fan Cockerton 56:10. 113 finishers on a glorious day with the ground hard for a change. Loadsa cakes to attack, good atmosphere in the boozer and a new gravy coloured T-shirt to proudly wear.- Scab, 2008-12-12

Not sure what I'd been drinking when I posted this race, got a couple of facts wrong. It is of course the 3rd counter in the cross country series and has a limit of 300. Still time to enter.....- muddysox, 2008-09-26

Good race, similar to last year, warm and longer than I thought! That concludes the fell champs for this year. http://www.fell.runner.btinternet.co.uk/pfrchamps08.htm - muddysox, 2008-09-23

Scores are up for the 14 PFR'ers who braved the scorching slopes of Mount Lantern Pike. Lots of distractions in abundance at this great local country show. A pre-race warm up always guaranteed what with the 45 degree angle of slope that the show is based on !! Highlights were the jousting, stunt bikes and birds of prey. After the Jnr races (well done to my Rowan 18/30 in U8)it was down to the sweaty business of the day. A great performance by Baldeagle to finish high up in a quality field. Well done also to new member Alan King who appears to have an uncanny resemblance to another member Alan Knox. Aside from the similar speech impediment and poor looks he seems a descent enuff sort of chap! I wonder if Babs is still on the showground looking for her car? Scores on the doors: 10. Baldeagle 36:12; 32.Boris Becker 39:10; 55.Bare it all Mark Law 41:13; 94."ey up Dad" Stu Whitehead 44:57; 99.Michael Phelps 45:07; 105.Alan King 45:28; 113. Dave I beat the 8 gold medal winner to the summit Foster 46:04; 128.Geoff Dim (in his 500th appearance in a PFR shirt....this year!)46:54; 176. My turn Russ, Anne B. 51:14; 177.

Nell Law 59:19 - who refused to run bare chested like husband at his request.- , 2008-09-23

belter run for me today got into a routine again scalped some good lads today in a very competetive race well done to all club members who took part.- baldeagle, 2008-09-20

Ignore this, it's gone.- muddysox, 2008-07-18

14 chip butty fans from the club in attendence no less. Score on the doors are: 2. Stannah Hinch 18:04 (1st M); 6. Rick "feigns fatigue" Sunman 18:23; 11. Boris Becker 19:02; 17.

A terrific time was had by a large number of romping PFR members last night with lots of prizes as booty. Stannah Hinch was an incredible 2nd after flogging me and Rick to death on the chopper ride over to the start. Sue H bagged 1st prize in the over 21 category and Stu Woodhead in the over 65 category...I think! Only in Yorkshire could you get trays of chips served up by a bloke in a dinner suit with a dickie-bow! The 2 pints of Moonshine slipped down very nicely before the eyeballs out ride home - alas Stannah can't do anything at a steady pace. Why oh why have I not done this before? - great organisation by Wakey with results up in no time at all. The sight of the organiser throwing loaves of bread to the far corners of the boozer struck an almost biblical scene! Guttered can't make the last 1 which is a relay at the end of August. Do it if you can. n o doubt someone will post the results up here when they come out.- Scab, 2008-08-01

Weather for this one was almost as good as it gets, slightly to much wind on the edge. Lovely route taking in some stunning scenery. I added about a K to the route by not being bothered to look at my map at a road junction about 1 K from the end, turned left instead of right and ran uphill (slightly) for 5 / 600 metres before realising, what a prat. Nice race in a very nice part of the world.- Mouth Almighty, 2008-07-22

Wrong race Soreeneater, this ones Pen y Fan. Cracking weekend, both races had lots to offer and the camp site, Priory Farm, in Brecon was fantastic, and only a short (5 mins) walk to a real ale boozer. Thanks Caz and Gaz for the recommendation.- Mouth Almighty, 2008-07-22

Excelent short race. Last year Keith Anderson did the summit down to the finish in 7 minutes, only way I can see that is if he tripped at the top and took 7 minutes and a mile and a quarter (ish) to recover. AWESOME!!!!- Mouth Almighty, 2008-07-22

Updated the champs sheet as below. Well done to everyone. Glad you enjoyed it Scab. I'd never live it down if you'd all had a bad time. Pity I had to dash, missed the cake! http://www.fell.runner.btinternet.co.uk/pfrchamps08.htm - muddysox, 2008-07-18

Oops put the wrong date in Diary - please delete El Webmaster. 16 white clad athletes turned up for a super little blast from a quite stunning Derbys village nr Bakewell. 64 starters and fine fayre in the Cock & Pullet for afters. Pleased with my 1st 50 point haul for my new club until Geoff Dim pipes up "Mind you - no decent runners from the club turned up!" Thanks alot Geoff - I think you should find a new career - in Sports Psycology perhaps!! Can we ensure that Babs Haigh turns up at every race with homemade cake for PFR finishers please - t'was delicious. Elsewhere Dave C was doing cartwheels with his highest placing in a Champs race, KT Davis stormed home quickest in the Ladies race and even a prize picked up for Dave H as the race anchorman. What a top little event and well worth the effort in getting over there of my chauffeur- Mr Porteous. I bet road runners have just as much fun!?!- Scab, 2008-07-18

Going round with hose pipe this afternoon just for soreeneater.- Mouth Almighty, 2008-07-14

Sod fell running. After our youngest Mutt (towed rather forcefully by lead held by keen 9 year old offspring) achieved 3rd place in the Dog Agility Contest I'm devoting my spare time to this activity instead. Looking forward to seeing Teresa and Sarah as judges at next years' Crufts Best in Show!!Rosette is stuck on top of t'telly for all to see.- Scab, 2008-07-14

Very disappointed with the lack of mud Mr. Mouth Almighty! Cheers to all the people who made it such a fantastic event. Biking there and back over Strines route is NOT to be recommended. One more race and I will be able to get one of those Pound Shop nail scratched glasses.- SoreenEater, 2008-07-13

Top race as ever Bob. Had to cover me ears when Julie B uttered some words you won't find in the Bible once we hit the big puddles. Not sure she likes the gloopy stuff - mind you she was only a few secs behind the 1st Lady. Frithy & I gagged a coupla gongs on the day - it's a good job we jumped ship - else this club wouldn't have much to shout about! P.s. Tongue firmly shoved in cheek.- Scab, 2008-07-14

Very soggy and cold, but enjoyable. Managed to stay upright for once, despite all the mud. Only Ray and me there. Definitely not a night to sit outside the Cricketers with a pint.- muddysox, 2008-06-27

Well done to all the runners. That was a tough run. Congratulations to Bald Eagle and Scab. I thought I would give Frithy a break tonight so I opted for a swift half in the pub half way up the first hill, then casually strolled around the woods taking note of the various points of interest. After a short spell of bird spotting I thought I better leg it down the hill to hear the band play a rendition of Frithy's 1930's favourites.- BigAl, 2008-06-19

and what a results service, second to non. Even though I say so myself.- Mouth Almighty, 2008-06-19

good little tough race that was,glad to win a £10 voucher which the kids have claimed and well done to everyone.- baldeagle, 2008-06-19

Extremely Jacob's Cream Crackered after this event. Looking at last year's times I expected to finished around the 26min mark. Good guess. 1 second off. Lots of up then lots of down. So, 14 mins or so of up and 11-12 mins down. The up kept going up and up. Set off like a train and made good headway. Then I fell back a bit as Steve Storey and Julie B went flying by. 12th I think and thank god I managed to stay in front of Big Al. No prize for being the first Cubley runner home. Bad show if you ask me. Thanks to all those concerned. Must recci it just before the race next time, then I know what's coming.- SoreenEater, 2008-06-18

Not much persuading then.- SoreenEater, 2008-06-16

Mrs Big Al said I have got to rethink my retirement. She said she needs me out of the way Sunday mornings so she can catch up on the housework.- BigAl, 2008-06-16

I hereby officially retire.- BigAl, 2008-06-16

It looks as though the reports page is not being used too much. Most people are writing reports on the message board. It was an eventful race this morning. Nice to see so many people there. It would have been nice to get a hundred out. Thanks to everyone who marked the course and/or stood giving directions. Big Al's 40th on Friday. He said that he would retire if he beat me. So, I was well up for that. He blasted off from the start, I adjusted my shoelaces and strolled up the first hill passing the time of day with the locals. The course was marked every few metres and it was impossible to get lost. As we approached the top of the hill after crossing the stream/river, I decided to put my foot on the gas pedal and see if I could catch sight of Alex. Nope, nowhere to be seen. Passing people who had stormed by before I made good progress through the fields. I now caught a glimpse of my running mate. Bit by bit (with little effort) I began to pull him back. Mucky Lane and he is just a hundred yards in frony. Ian C appears to be struggling up the hill ( sorry Ian). Then it's my turn and I'M struggling. Through a few gates which Alex makes sure are tightly shut, I gain on him and by the top stile I am just a metre or so from him. Ready for the run in and put in a sprint. DAMN! Who move the finish to there? Ah well, he'll have to retire now. Well done Alex. It is going to be harder and harder for me to be in front from now on, if at all. I'll buy you a pint.- SoreenEater, 2008-06-15

T'was reet 'ot.- Scab, 2008-06-05

Another fantastic turnout. Results were out on the night, just after the last of the runners had gone home. Martin, results man, is moving jobs and will not be at any more races but will continue to do the results until the end of the year, by me sending him the details. I have 3 ITbased runners looking at simplifying the system for next year with a view to guaranteeing the results on the night we used to have when John Dyson was with us.:)- Mouth Almighty, 2008-06-04

Did this back in 1994 (2:22:58) 30 / 38 in thick clag. Fantastic race, obnoxcious locals in pub during prize giving. Would go back for race but keep my beer money for a more welcoming spot.- Mouth Almighty, 2008-06-06

Call em fell races in the Peak eh? - I think not. This is the mother of all medium category A races. Actually, 9.2m with 4200' of climbing no less. No wonder it took me 2hrs 4mins 21secs. A sheer monster hands on thigh grunt from Bethesda up to Carnedd Dafydd along the Carneddau saddle horseshoe and then up Carnedd Llewellyn. Then a screaming technical at times descent to the foot of Gryn Wigau when the hands on thigh grunting resumes. Well chuffed in finishing 13/55. Will defo do this again.- Scab, 2008-06-04

Perhaps you need to start a new trend..running goggles. If you lads up the front wear them, they will all be buying them!- BigAl, 2008-05-27

Can you put in a claim? Crowdengrit.com? What's it like up at the front?- SoreenEater, 2008-05-27

cracking race that was,the wind on top was a shocker,only other problem was driving home my left eye was niggling me,but ann said she could not see anything in it so i held out until i could not take anymore and decided to go to the hospital at 4.30 in the morning where they found a chunk of crowden horseshoe grit which they kindly removed thus giving instant relieve,got to see the eye specialist now because it is badly scratched,but all in all a fantastic face roll on next year.- baldeagle, 2008-05-27

That was a race and a half. Was it windy OR was it windy. Made little or no progress in some places, it was that bad. It's a good job it was blowing the direction it was or we might have had a few bodies over the edge near Laddow Rocks. Got to the trig point with one guy in "toe", downhill all the way from there. Thought that loads would pass me but only one did;Mark Buskwood from Totley. Glad to see the finish. A tough 80mins work. A few people tried to out sprint each other. Not a good idea. He went flying and did his legs in on the gravel. That Alex Simon kid is improving far too quickly. Must stop telling him all my training secrets. By 2009 I'll be chasing him! Can you spot yourself on the picture link? www.richardasquith.co.uk/crowden.jpg - SoreenEater, 2008-05-25

Blisters and very sore feet was the outcome to this rugged and rough unfortunately nearly all runnable course. Well pleased with 1:47:34 and 29/190. Course is basically 5 mile up and 5 down - hoards of yocals fill the streets of Dolgellau for the start and finish. Could well be a regular fixture.- Scab, 2008-06-04

Champs results sheet now uploaded. Have added a handy link back to PFR home page at the bottom of the runtotal tab. Some good piccies on Eyam website, see if you can spot yourself. With 22 Penistone runners you might be there somewhere!- muddysox, 2008-05-19

Click on the Eyam website link. The results are up. 2nd team!- SoreenEater, 2008-05-18

I wouldn't say it was tough, but it was TOUGH! After the steep climb from mile 9 to 10, there was no let up after tirning onto Sir William Hill Rd. It seemed to go on for ever! I thought I was running backwards at one point. An easier half next year?- SoreenEater, 2008-05-18

11. Should have gone to Specsavers Roebuck - 49:10; 22. Mick Hucknall- 52:49; 104. Babs Haigh - 1:08:04. 135 starters. Oh and always injured kilpin did a splendid 23:17 and 10/74 at the May Queen race on the fri neet before.- Scab, 2008-06-04

i am lost for words mr scab,all i can say is things can only get better.- baldeagle, 2008-05-20

Myself and Barbara H managed to navigate the well marked and well marshalled course. The same cannot be said for the only other white shirted attendee - Baldeagle. Good results from our top runners is very important to the overall profile of the club. So I'm afraid that losing your way so disastrously and slipping from 2nd to finish 11th just isn't good enough Mr Baldy. Does the club have a special fund enabling members to have a visit to a local optician? At least the daughters of the lost lad were very useful as timekeepers at the finish - a job for the Trunce perhaps MouthAlmighty? Top race as ever - it really is the only proper category A short race herabouts - do it next year. Results to follow.- Scab, 2008-05-19

Your not wrong soreeneater. Mid 90's I can remember under 50 runners altogether.- Mouth Almighty, 2008-05-15

The juniors field is starting to get as big as the seniors used to be in 1857!- SoreenEater, 2008-05-14

Its in an envelope ready and waiting with BigAl's address on it. Thanks BigAl and soreeneater, think it went down well. 234, 230 registered + 2 late comers - 1 DNF = 231 (something wrong with maths), seniors and 38 juniors last evening. Another fantastic turn out.- Mouth Almighty, 2008-05-13

Why does it repeat? Why does it repeat?- SoreenEater, 2008-05-12

I thought the flute players were ace. Well done to Big Al for setting it up. COUGH up Andy!- SoreenEater, 2008-05-12

I thought the flute players were ace. Well done to Big Al for setting it up. COUGH up Andy!- SoreenEater, 2008-05-12

Juniors will start 2.5 minutes after seniors and will do the loop by the river the opposite way round, that is anti clockwise not clockwise. Marshals will be out encouraging juniors to run on the right hand side of the lane after the first farm, ready to turn right instead of dropping down to kissing gate. Seniors will be asked to run on the left side of the lane after the first farm. This should remove the frustration of the faster juniors who get stuck in the queue for the gate.- Mouth Almighty, 2008-05-07

I think this is now cancelled. See link. www.dpfr.org.uk/index.php?p=news&id=340 - SoreenEater, 2008-05-05

Joint 31st out of 175 finishers apparently.- KingSnail, 2008-05-18

Me and John Rowe had the undeniable pleasure of competing in this event. The heat took its toll, but didn't stop us getting round. We both finished together in 17 hours 30 mins. www.fellsman.org.uk - KingSnail, 2008-05-12

Scorchio!!!! lots of sweaty and breathless members on show with Scab, Lee"I'll beat my dad 1 day" Storey, Not so cool shades Simon, Stu, Wraggie,Dave F, Geoff "P.B." D, and Katy Housewife finishing in that order. It must be said that the Housewife was closing rapidly on the 2 old buggers just in front of her!- Scab, 2008-05-08

Keep your nocturnal activities to yourself please.- Scab, 2008-05-02

Sorry - double entry- SoreenEater, 2008-04-30

Gut rot the week before put paid to my 4 1/2 hrs hopes on the day. The aim was to get round without being timed out and on that score managed to get through Hill Inn with 15 mins to spare. A serious left hamstring seizure after the descent on Whernside meant I couldn't even walk for 5 mins. Thanks to Kingsnail for stopping at that point before speeding off in to the distance. What a fantastic day out - loadsa spectators, very friendly runners all about, awesome goody bag. Just ducked under 5 hours and was well pleased with getting round. Top performances my Stannah Hinch and Nicky on the day with Pete Stanley just managing to hold off Kingsnail. London Marathon is for poofs - do the PPP next year! Surely it's what you Yarkshire folk should all aspire to??- Scab, 2008-04-28

Who won and what was the time?- SoreenEater, 2008-04-25

What a sloppy (underfoot) race BRILLIANT!!!. It's like going back to childhood without the clip round the ear. Well done and thanks Pete and team.- Mouth Almighty, 2008-04-25

Need someone to train me up for those downhill bits! Any offers?- SoreenEater, 2008-04-25

Still waiting for Martin to do results. He did promise me they would be done Thursday night???- Mouth Almighty, 2008-04-26

It was no longer in the club champs, so no points anywhere I'm afraid! I don't know how to get the champs marker off it.- muddysox, 2008-04-18

Results on Glossopdale site. 50 points to Pete Stanley and 49 to John Rowe were the only Club Championship points scored on the night.- Scab, 2008-04-18

Anybody going? Willing to buy a pint AND pay entry fee in exchange for a lift!- SoreenEater, 2008-04-08

NOT A CHAMPS RACE ANY MORE.- SoreenEater, 2008-03-25

Was good being out watching, second best to getting backside in gear and entering soon enough but thats another story. Well done to all who ran particularly PFR members (of any status) Jim Bell 1:20:44; Steve Storey 1:23:11; Andy Green 1:33:58; Jane Cockerton 1:46:27; Barbara Haigh 1:50:55 and Lindsay Brent FV45 1:54:36. Need to question this one as I have a picture of him from the last Trunce 2007 in a pink tu tu!!!!- Mouth Almighty, 2008-04-18

Almost. 253 finished the Skyline + 33 that didn't.- Mouth Almighty, 2008-04-02

239 entries. WOW! There is many a race organiser who would be pleased to see that number of people! As many as Edale Andy?- SoreenEater, 2008-04-02

Some photo's from Monday http://www.flamingphotography.co.uk/ - Mouth Almighty, 2008-04-02

Brilliant evening for Truncing, albeit a tad cold standing at the finish slightly under dressed. Another record breaker, 239 senior and 31 junior eclipsing race 2 2007 of 223 senior and 29 junior. Hope everyone enjoys the rest at the gate. Martin is picking the sheets up this evening and will do his utmost to process them tonight. With 63 brand new seniors and a few new juniors to input (all of which he does not know about yet) it may take a little longer - please be patient. Big thanks to all who helped - Ian and Sue C, Mike Shaw, Sarah, Chris, Jane, Bob, Sue and Kathryn and all others that turned out.- Mouth Almighty, 2008-04-01

YES.....well done to the ladies.- SoreenEater, 2008-03-31

Well done has to be said to Penistone Ladies, Nicky, Anne, Barbara and Jane for cliching the ladies team prize. Mr Hinchcliffe has now moved from Halfway Hinchcliffe to Full round Phil, cracking run Phil, well done. Although proper runners will be at the Trunce tonight as well, not at the Monkey. Brilliant day out and the conditions far better than I thought they would be. Antiscipated lots more head wind and bog, pleasantly surprised. Well done everyone.- Mouth Almighty, 2008-03-31

Hmm, not sure about that one. Messed my head up trying to get to the cut-off in time then blew my body to bits on the second half! Was so thankful to get round. Must say cheers to all the supporters enroute, really cheered me up and kept me going. Also, did my eyes deceive me? I thought Ray was near the top of Mam Tor shouting encouragement, but reading the report above, he was at Hornsea. It was definitely someone who knew my name.....mystery.- muddysox, 2008-03-30

Results - well done Phil H - 17th spot! www.dpfr.org.uk/index.php?p=news/skyline_provisional.html - SoreenEater, 2008-03-30

Well done to everyone who took part. Really good marshalling spot at Twitchill Farm. Met Bertie Bassett on the way up Lose Hill! Phil H had a stormer and finished somwhere in the top 20 I think.Good weather for a change.- SoreenEater, 2008-03-30

Champs spreadsheet now updated with the results. I counted 20 Penistone runners (although one or two appear to be running under different clubs!). Therefore, if you ran and haven't been included, please let me know. Ta- muddysox, 2008-03-20

That was a real TOUGHIE. A stiff climb up the hill to the first stile. IS IT JUST ME being a Victor Meldrew type? I thought you were supposed to wait your turn and go over the stile, not climb over the wire fence. It does my head in. These idiots could stop others enjoying races because farmers don't want the fence wrecking. If you've got loads of energy, save it for later in the race. Sorry about the rant. Loved the race, it was tough going along the side of that fence. Don't think there was an easy way. Well done to all the Penistone runners. Not sure who was in first, it certainly wasn't me. The winner was probably back in 45 mins!Thanks to Big Al for the lift and for Mouth Almighty who I think spoke to everyone in Crowden! What stamina.- SoreenEater, 2008-03-16

14. Skinny Wretch Kilpin 46:03, 21. Ginger Spice 47:19, 42. Malt Loaf Lover 53:26, 49. Scousers 3 Keegan's Perm 0 54:59; 53. Popped his Fell Cherry 56.20, 58.

Superb course! One of the best runs I've had in ages in terms of views and terrain, something for everyone. The Famous Five turned out: Keith G, Alan K, Steve F, Shaun W and Alex S who was a fell virgin before the race. What a cracker to do for your first one.- SoreenEater, 2008-03-09

Added retrospectively, but thought it was worth a mention since Jane C and I spent almost 4hours slogging round. Brill day, lots of cake and drinks along the way. Thanks to Bob for his support at numerous points enroute. Jane 3:47:17, Anne 3:50:09.- muddysox, 2008-03-10

Well, t'other team weren't quite so fast as the "A" Team but at the end of the day we completed the course as a team in 12 hours something. Weather was reasonably kind to us this year, but the mud was hard going. Thanks to Ian, Roy and Martin for taking part.- KingSnail, 2008-03-10

Fastening his shoe laces together, or culling dependant on the mood at the time.- Mouth Almighty, 2008-03-10

What's hobbling? Is that like culling only more humane?- SoreenEater, 2008-03-09

Fantastic run by Nicky, John, Rob Woodall and Neil Shepherd (Rob and Neil late stand ins for Ian C and Martyn G). 1st Mixed Team in 10hrs 55mins. Well donw to Mark for getting round against all odds as a couple of the team had stomach problems and one other needed hobbling.- Mouth Almighty, 2008-03-09

Every last runner hit a windy wall just as they started the descent. I was stood there at almost 45 degrees, it was brill. Well done Baldeagle, and everyone else that participated, runers and officials alike.- Mouth Almighty, 2008-03-03

ps forgot to mention all for a fantastic cause.- baldeagle, 2008-03-02

thanks for that soreeneater,the wind nearly blew me over just after that piccy dropping of the top of hartcliffe,going up was okay it was on the top towards hartcliffe that was the worst not to mention the bogs and tuffs of grass,thanks to all p.f.r and all marshalls for a brill little race.- baldeagle, 2008-03-02

What a breezy day. Dropped off my wine and donation to sit atop Hartcliffe Hill. Windy or what. A group of people (no idea who they were, spoilt the effect having a number of barking dogs. Thought I recognised one or two of them, but ...... (people, not the dogs). Lack of working batteries and glasses led to me taking only one photo. The leader of course. Hope you raised a bit of money. Enough wine to replace the res! Click on the link for THE photograph. Hope it works. www.flickr.com/photos/24223912@N05/2304865326/ - SoreenEater, 2008-03-02

Just a bit on the BRRRRR it's freezing cold side. Can't remember the last 5 mile road race I did and I certainly can't remember the last time I DID the Wombwell 5. Managed to thaw out a bit after the hill. My mate was going to keep up with Julie B. Some hope! I was just starting my journey around the track as Julie was coming into the finish. Well done to Shaun D, third in a PB? A storming day for all those Penistone vests. Cheers to Stuart W for pushing me on a bit; after he'd gone by me of course. Really pleased with my time and who knows, I might do another 5 miler before the year is up.- SoreenEater, 2008-02-17

A grand day out but Wrong trousers Gromet both legs from knees down are cut to shreds with the burnt heather.. Amazing how much of the Peaks you can get round when you try. Well done to Darren 18 points Brent and John and Andy 13 points and Jane and Nicky 11 points- Mouth Almighty, 2008-02-19

Absolutely brilliaant race, extremely well organised and a fantastic, very tough route. First time in Pentland Hills, south of Edinburgh, but very impressed. May look at a PFR YH weekend for next years race. Anyone possibly interested?- Mouth Almighty, 2008-02-19

Best of luck Mark. I'll be thinking of you while I tuck into a bacon buttie at Langsett Cafe.- SoreenEater, 2008-02-06

Tough conditions today, strong wind for 1st half (advantage in 2nd). Well done to everyone that ran and more to them that stood about, officials and spectators. A creditable 4th place for Steve Roebuck and 5 + minutes quicker this than last for Jane Cockerton.- Mouth Almighty, 2008-02-04
