[edit] BGR
At some stage it would be good to take the Bob Graham material, and other stuff on the venerable history the Lakes 24-hour records, into a separate article I think.-Linuxlad 13:19, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Good idea. Could I suggest Bob Graham Round as the key word. It already occurs on Senator Bob Graham's Talk Page. Eddie 11:14, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- OK by me - though that might not be the heading that people would expect to find say the Lakes 24 hour record (and it would be nice if that were listed somewhere); similarly the Welsh 3000 record (including Beard's 3 way passage in 24 hours etc) needs a mention somewhere - it could come under peak bagging but that seems to be covering a slightly diferent activity.

- Maybe a few re-directions Lakes 24 hour record etc to one page. I vote for fell running to be the midwife - peak bagging contentious for venerable Bob Graham. Eddie 23:33, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Mountain Marathon
Should we bring Mountain Marathon onto this page? -Eddie 11:46, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Well there's not a lot of fell running done in the lower classes of say the Saunders (though we try :-)) In the meantime, could change one of the early bold entries for MM to a link?

- Done -see what you think. -Unknown
- What about a category CS after the examples for a suggested starter? Eddie 23:27, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] General
Should we give Mountain Running, that's more international, it's own page? -Eddie 11:46, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Certainly many of the fell runs in South Wales and West are not in the same class of brutality as the Ben Nevis run. Eg the early legs of the Cotswold Way, the Beacon Batch on Mendip, the late-lamented Offas Dyke run and the miriad of evening runs up the local hill in the South Wales villages. (NB Some of these indeed are martialled in a desultory sort of way IIRC).
- Let's perhaps leave it for a bit and see who else picks into joining us, then split when the classification gets too unwieldy?. -Linuxlad 16:08, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Bon idee. Eddie 23:28, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] POV
The latest addition is clearly by an enthusiast but is NOT NPOV in my opinion. It takes the voice of 'the writer' and includes a section 'could you do it?' Needs a substantial rewrite to be neutral, I suggest. Linuxlad 08:32, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
- Agree --Eddie | Talk 09:37, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed, I've had a crack at it but it could do with some more work from someone who knows about this subject. Oh and sections/TOC would be nice.Lisiate 02:24, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] 2 Histories
I have put up more headings, and because of this there is no longer a need for a manually inserted Table of Contents. As you can see, however, there are two sections titled 'History'. This is because it is addressed in both the introduction and the conclusion it seems. I think these should be fused. It's up to you guys whether or not you want it at the start or end.

[edit] Fell Relay Races
These particular type of events are not mentioned under any of the Fell Running headings but are a paticular branch of the sport that does attract a great deal of interest amongst fell runners. This type of event often acts as a relatively 'safe' introduction to the sport for new comers, as each relay leg, more often than not, is run as a pairing of runners.
