Just got back from a short bike ride .. Fellrunner Mag had arrived in the Post .. settled down to eat my PB sarnies and glance through the Mag .. when what did I see on Page 131 .. a BCR doing Kirkby Moor Fell Race .. not me I might add .. the camera person had gone by the time I got there !

Good picture, though obviously not trying judging by the smile

Or is it a grimace

And is that Mike McI in 3rd place on p33?

Yes – it’s Mike, although his Mum did not recognise him. I’m on the bit they cut off. Probably best for everybody.

Have a look at Joss's training regime in the 40 year celebration booklet - no time wasted at all before races (and all done in top quality footwear)

Sneakily he doesn’t mention the hundreds of miles he probably did per week as a sheep farmer on’t fells ..

That was just his warm up to pull the wool over people's eyes before ramming a great time in the numerous Mountain Trials he did !
Wonder if the girls will get photographed next? First we have Pete T and now Will I vote for Hazel's 'flying' finish on Black Combe last year - you can't beat a hearty grin
