Fell Race : Forestburn Gate

by Madman2 Posted on August 7, 2010

The first of the Northumberland agricultural show based fell runs of the season (for me at least) is tomorrow Sunday 8th August at 14:00. Hoping that this one will be a relatively easy entry into the game. Its short and steep from what I remember from last year. 3.5 miles and 500′ of climbing. OS Map of route over on the NFR site.

    Some of those contour lines look very close together!

    From what I remember from last year they are representative! It was one my first fell races last year and it was blazing hot. I don’t think that’s going to be too much of a problem this year.
