black combe runners newsie october 2014 note from the editor What a fantastic summer we’ve had! I’ve lost count of the number of beautiful sunny social runs and clear, blue-sky fell races we’ve been lucky enough to have over the past few months. The club has seen some fantastic personal achievements too, in particular three successful Bob Graham attempts (well done Michael, Tim & John!) and celebrating Peter’s final Birkett. The Black Combe Summer Champs are still ongoing, with real competition for the fell top spot; less than one point stands between Mike McIver and Tim Ripper, with only Langdale and Dunnderdale left to decide the winner. Harvey has had a fantastic season leading the road champs and we wish him a speedy recovery after fracturing his ankle and rupturing ligaments in the Three Shires fell race (ouch!!). Whilst I’m here, I’d also like to take this opportunity to welcome some very special new additions to the Black Combe family! Huge congratulations to Will & Sue on the arrival of baby Flo, to John & Katy on the arrival of baby Owen and to Harvey & Jo on the arrival of baby Bess. We wish you all the best and lots more sleep! I hope you enjoy this issue of newsie… many thanks again to all of you who have been kind enough to contribute your articles and photographs. It’s now time for us to don our head torches, zip up our waterproofs and brace ourselves for the winter season! See you at the next social run! Take care, Beth When the nights draw in, it can only mean one thing. The time has come for the black combe winter league The Black Combe Winter League is a series of highly competitive club races with ‘level the playing field’ chasing starts. The principle aim of the league is to see how good you are at running away from your club mates. If you’re really good, you get a trophy for your efforts. If you’re really bad, you suffer the repeated humiliation of being overtaken by those who clearly need more fattening up for Christmas. The only rules I can really remember is that you have to complete four races to qualify, your lowest scores count and that’s about it…even the race routes seem to be open to interpretation… (Appletreeworth anyone?!) Dave Watson did a cracking job of organising the latest winter league, which saw an epic 62 runners taking part across the seven races. Mike McIver also nailed the handicaps, with several photo finishes needed to determine the final positions. Overall, 19 runners qualified for the league and Karl Fursey squarely took the title of 13/14 Winter League winner, with only 10 points at the finish. Well done all! the resultthe results!results!s!s! 24 Dec 1 Jan 12 Jan 19 Jan 2 Feb 23 Feb 16 Mar Roan Black Total Flan Hoad Po House ATW Birkrigg Broughton Head Combe 1 Karl Fursey m 4 4 3 2 1 19 10 2 Lou Lyness f 6 3 17 4 30 3 Pat McIver m 4 13 13 12 2 31 4 Nick Sebley m 16 7 14 5 6 17 32 5 James Goffe m 16 10 29 9 4 12 35 =6 Mike McIver m 7 22 11 10 8 18 36 =6 Jackie Casey f 14 8 12 7 9 36 8 Lindsay Buck f 5 16 14 9 10 38 9 John Millen m 19 12 8 8 14 42 10 Claire Watson f 21 34 6 12 7 46 11 Dave Parminter m 15 15 35 10 7 47 12 Pete Tayler m 16 26 15 3 14 48 13 William Ross m 24 5 18 13 13 49 14 Rob Mckeever m 6 9 24 11 50 15 Hazel Tayler f 14 19 11 11 55 16 Matthew Allen m 17 26 14 1 58 17 Gill O'Connell f 26 24 22 10 3 59 18 Dave Watson m 7 6 31 16 60 19 Tim Ripper m 19 25 18 5 67 Fastest Male Time Fastest Female Time Flan Hoad Mike McIver 00:39:15 Helen Walker 01:00:20 Po House Mike McIver 00:37:01 Jackie Casey 00:43:11 Appletreeworth Mike McIver 00:41:41 Paula Irons 00:48:28 Birkrigg Harry Stainton 00:40:31 Lizzie Adams 00:46:56 Broughton John Millen 00:35:23 Jackie Casey 00:40:34 Roan Head Mike McIver 00:46:45 Lindsay Buck 01:06:27 Black Combe Tim Ripper 00:40:40 Lizzie Adams 00:44:00 Snaps from Coniston! 3rd May 14 39/100 Penny completes her 12th London Marathon – her 39th marathon on a personal journey to 100 marathons. As someone who has been fortunate to have run in the about 4 miles.

You know you’re a fell runner when… You know you’re a fell runner when… You recognise and can name all makes of i-nov8 fell shoe… ...and you know what terrain each is best on, but you still use a pair of £39.99 shoes from the Pete Bland sale box. You find congealed jelly babies in your shorts pocket from a previous race. In the pre-race excitement, you forget what your car registration is when filling in the entry form… …and can’t think who the RO should ring if you don’t make it round in one piece. You still get the butterflies just before the race whistle blows. You moan at carrying full kit on a sunny day (and then it rains and hails hard half way round). You get excited and animated discussing the pros and cons of going around or through the bog… …when actually it doesn’t make any difference. You blindly follow the runners in front in the clag, knowing “it doesn’t seem right”. You don’t really feel like that meat and potato pie two minutes after the end of the run… …but you still eat it anyway. You look in hope at the first A4 list of results, when you know you are on the second or third… You linger around at the end of the race, in hope of a spot prize at least… …or in hope of spotting some fell running stars. You stick your race numbers up on your wall with times on them. You avidly record your times year after year when they improve… …you stop recording the times when they start deteriorating. You have a spreadsheet that extrapolates the number of years left before you fail to meet that checkpoint cut off time. You enjoy watching slideshows of multi-coloured runners descending the same piece of fell. You know you’re a fell runner when none of the above stops you from racing week after week, with the same grimaced, satisfied smile as you cross the finish line. Thanks Andy Gittins!

  • I Love to Challenge Myself

    I Love to Challenge Myself

    Kim Collison: I love to challenge myself I am passionate about running and off-road in particular. Fell, trail, ultra - all of them. I guess my main passion is mountains. Being out in nature and exploring comes into it too. I am quite competitive. The race element comes right to the fore for me. I love to challenge myself. Kim Collison attempts to summarise his passion for being out in the mountains. I talked to him just after he had set a new winter Bob Graham Round record this December. He went on to explain his background and how he got into his sport, whilst also giving details of that impressive winter effort. Kim Collison is not a native of Cumbria, although he has lived there for a while now. He grew up in Tring, in Hertfordshire, and ended up at Tring Running Club. His father was interested in sports and in running in particular. Kim enjoyed running from a very early age. As a young kid he was always outside playing. At Secondary School, Hemel Hempstead School, he did a bit of cross country, but says he wasn't so good at team games. ‘One year I remember not getting in the school cross country team’, he recalls, ‘and then going on and winning all the PE lesson cross countries the next year. I was that driven and competitive. I didn't stand out at County level or anything mind.’ He was in the Scouts and did a lot of hiking in the mountains. Through this he was learning navigation, being taken to the Lakes and Snowdonia.

    Landform Studies in Mosedale, Northeastern Lake District: Opportunities for Field Investigations

    Field Studies, 10, (2002) 177 - 206 LANDFORM STUDIES IN MOSEDALE, NORTHEASTERN LAKE DISTRICT: OPPORTUNITIES FOR FIELD INVESTIGATIONS RICHARD CLARK Parcey House, Hartsop, Penrith, Cumbria CA11 0NZ AND PETER WILSON School of Environmental Studies, University of Ulster at Coleraine, Cromore Road, Coleraine, Co. Londonderry BT52 1SA, Northern Ireland (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT Mosedale is part of the valley of the River Caldew in the Skiddaw upland of the northeastern Lake District. It possesses a diverse, interesting and problematic assemblage of landforms and is convenient to Blencathra Field Centre. The landforms result from glacial, periglacial, fluvial and hillslopes processes and, although some of them have been described previously, others have not. Landforms of one time and environment occur adjacent to those of another. The area is a valuable locality for the field teaching and evaluation of upland geomorphology. In this paper, something of the variety of landforms, materials and processes is outlined for each district in turn. That is followed by suggestions for further enquiry about landform development in time and place. Some questions are posed. These should not be thought of as being the only relevant ones that might be asked about the area: they are intended to help set enquiry off. Mosedale offers a challenge to students at all levels and its landforms demonstrate a complexity that is rarely presented in the textbooks. INTRODUCTION Upland areas attract research and teaching in both earth and life sciences. In part, that is for the pleasure in being there and, substantially, for relative freedom of access to such features as landforms, outcrops and habitats, especially in comparison with intensively occupied lowland areas.
