  • 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.

Editors note-Definitions of CHALLENGE-‘A test of one's abilities or resources in a demanding but stimulating undertaking:’. This newsletter is full of members’ challenges. Whether against the terrain, clock, distance, elements, others or oneself it appears we are constantly seeking them and relish in the experiences they give us. Is it something in the makeup of a fell runner or just an excuse to get out on the hills? As I read the numerous articles which drop in my mailbox I realise it’s not just the actual event that is so rewarding but the planning, preparation, reflecting and sharing which bring so much pleasure and enable us to ‘re-live’ the venture.. This edition boasts a report from our international lady runner Sophie Noon, A week of being a CFR junior (very busy!), Favourite Fells, a heartfelt report of Rosie’s Pyrenees crossing, 2 different Abraham Tea Rounds, a lesson in carrying lightweight from Darren Parker and how to do it in style from Dot and Jane. Also the TDS, NCOH, Lakes in a Day, Ring of Steall accounts, race and relay reports and much more! So take your pick and I hope you enjoy them- but you better save this so you can keep returning to it –it may take some time! As always a big thank you to all who have contributed .

In some of these cases, the contributors to the website. The list in use started with the 2000ft list of Rev. evidence for overriding the map forms comes from other Ordnance Survey Vandeleur (1950s), the 600m list based on this by Joss Lynam (1970s) and the sources, such as the Ordnance Survey Memoirs.

Captain’s Report 2016. By Dave Ward. Dave, right, part of Jasmin Paris’s stunning Bob Graham. Photo Over yonder. I’d like to open this year’s report by thanking everyone that has been on the committee and helped to run the club over the last 5 years. I’d especially like to thank Alan and Dave Bowen for their hard work as secretary; Geoff’s weekly comms and ever-present enthusiasm of a Thursday night and Dave Jones’ clipboard which gets some hammer with the multitude of intra-club events and races he organises throughout the year. The new Facebook page has been great for organisation, lift shares, photos and the odd bit of oddball banter. On that front, could I urge anyone with stories to tell/photos to share, to send them to Mark Fermer for the journal. He does a grand job but it is up to us to give him the content to work with, otherwise I'm sure he'll happily regale us with pictures of the Man City team and song lyrics from his youth! I’ll try not to repeat what you’ll have already read in the various Captain’s reports about our performances on the racing front.
