Mercia Fell Runners Club

On Saturday 12/06/10, Rick Robson and myself under took the first recorded attempt at the Gill Harris Long Mynd Tops Challenge Round, I promise to write a full article for the next Mercia Newsletter, but I just wanted let it be known, that Rick and myself decided to put Nicks Kingstons thought into action, and start the ball rolling, with a round of all the named high point within the open access area of the Long Mynd, and as the round was to be named in memory of our late friend Gill, we thought it fitting, the round should also include her finger post on High Park,  Nick Kingston was there to see us off at 1:30, on a gloriously sunny day, the intended route round the summits, was chosen out of a desire to have a nice flowing route, with as little tarmac as possible, just for the pleasure of been in the hill, rather than the optimum line, only time will tell if there is a faster route, I hope that many of you will follow in our footsteps, perfecting the optimum line, and record your own attempt in the log we intend to keep. For information I include our route below, with all heights, distances and time, there are also some photo's in the Image Galleries.

For anyone who wishes to  run the round, and would like more information, you can contact myself, Nick, or Rick and we would be glad to offer support, we would also like ask anyone who completes the round, to let Nick Kingston know how you got on, so he can record there effots.
