Is it really November?
Rhobell Fawr
Looking at this weekend’s fell programme there are no fewer than 7 fell races in England and Wales. Add to this the Tinto Race near Biggar, and classic Powerscourt Ridge race in the Wicklow hills…
…and the choice is immense, considering winter is well in the way! Whatever you are up to, stay safe and have fun…

Tinto is near Biggar, in Lanarkshire (30 miles south of Edinburgh), not near Musselburgh (a few miles east of Edinburgh).
