The North East’s Premier Fell Running Club
“Step by Step to Success”
Introduction
I have written these notes and produced some sketch maps of races that may be undertaken in The Cleveland Hills.
These may be done by a runner or jogger, provided they have a reasonable awareness of what the terrain demands
of them. I once had a conversation with a national running coach who insisted that fell or hill running required
exactly the same skills as cross country running! I would have thought that for anyone who has little or no
experience of this sort of event the best thing to do is to close the hole below your nose and exercise those two
receptors located on either side of your eyes. For example navigational and survival skills are essential to complete
some courses in a state of well being!
Anyway back to the present notes; it is important for each competitor to be properly equipped, aware of the route’s
requirements and be fit enough to complete the course without too much suffering. It is well known that all runners
are masochists, hence their little anecdotes like ‘no gain without pain.’ The main reason for producing these notes is
however to give information to those who wish to enjoy the Cleveland Hills through hill running competitions.
I would also like to acknowledge the kindness of many landowners, too numerous to mention, who tolerate us for the
day and even welcome us as well. You often find that farmers will move livestock for the day or weekend or even
build a new style. We are extremely grateful for all levels of support and cooperation that we receive.
NB. These are the standard routes but variation may occur due to particular circumstances on the day of the race;
e.g. adverse weather conditions, problems with land access or motorbikes crossing!
Hope you enjoy some of these David Parry (RIP)
N.B. More maps coming soon
