| 12/06/13 Website: the NFR website will be undergoing something of a change in the near future. It means of course that the current site format will go, but the new site will incorporate all the archived content and perhaps some new features. As a way of marking the change, here's a look back at some of the screenshots of website banners from 2007 onwards, plus a few shots of Paul Jameson's earlier site - Rob |

 photo: Andy Russell 02/03/13 Duddon Valley Fell Races: Andy Russell writes: "I enjoyed a great day out on the 18 mile / 6000ft Long Duddon Fell race. Cool, sunny and dry weather made for great running conditions. Six NFRs made it across to the Duddon Valley. In the long race Will Horsley was first home for NFR in an excellent time of 3h 20m followed by Dexter (whose time of 3h 34m earned him third place in the MV50 category), John Butters (3h 48m), Emma Bain (5h 17m) and myself (5h 46m). James Charlton came in in 8th place on the 10 mile 3000ft Short Duddon race with a time of 1h 59m." |

19/05/13 Bob Graham Round: "John Telfer put in an heroic attempt at the BGR on Saturday. Starting at 7am going anti clockwise John got round in a little over 25 hours in extremely testing conditions. The clag was down low for virtually the whole time with persistent heavy rain on Legs 1 and 2 and the odd shower on Legs 3, 4, and 5. All the navigators did a fantastic job finding the route and John's family proved to be tremendous road crew. I think I can speak for everyone involved that it was a pleasure being in the company of someone who is a credit to NFR.
