The 'canter' is less than two weeks away and I'm looking for volunteers as marshals. So if you are not going to run it and have nothing better to do on Saturday 3rd March, I'd appreciate your help for a couple of hours. email me at dave.nichols@make247.co.uk, or phone on 01694 725597, or text to 07850 654157, thanks.

As many of you will have noticed, the Cribyn race on Saturday 21st April is a Mercia Champs race. It's a classic fell race with lots of rough ground and a couple of big climbs, followed by one of the best descents in the sport.

It's time for you to get out your best 'bib and tucker' and troll along down to the Annual Dinner and Presentation Evening, don't be late it's the place to be seen, get together with the rest of your Club and enjoy a really good night of fun and food and wine and trophies and photographs and most of all be with your Mercia mates ......

Have you caught the fabulous photographs from the two Races this weekend. It couldn't have been easy to stand up at Titterstone Clee never mind take pictures as good as that!  As for LMV - just great, Alastair and Graham did a superb job of capturing the spirit of the race. I am thinking of instigating a new Trophy for next year "Most Stylish Slider" or the "Sore Arse Award" Not sure which yet! Click Here for a link to Alastair's website.

The issue with the missing entry form is now resolved and full results are up on the website

Somewhere in the chaos of yesterday, an entry form went missing, it was Runner No 893, we think his name was Rob, and comes from a small running club in the Bristol Area,- Mystery runner identified, it was Rob Cowlard from Thornbury Running Club, thanks you all those who help identify him

Very sorry but I have a technical issue with the results, nothing to major, but I will not be able to put them onto the website till tomorrow, hopefully they will be available from about 8pm on Maonday 6th Feb

The Longmynd Valleys Race is On - Last night saw a slow thaw set in, snow from earlier in the day is starting to melt, some of the side roads are still covered, but the main routes are all open, the hills are mainly white, but I can see lots of green poking through, current temperature is +1C, race registration will be open from 9:30 am, see you there
