Race report by Checkers:
Yesterday I went up to Scorton to do a new Fell race Nicky Nook. Having been up here before on a brief visit on a cloudy day. I thought it would be great to enjoy the evening sunshine over Blackpool.😒 Alas not to be as the rain clouds got stuck on the hill. This didn’t spoil the race.😄 I was glad I had my Fell shoes. The race under foot is more trail than fell. A bit like Harrock Hill. Surprisingly there is a fair bit of climbing for a small hill. However the downhill sections were brilliant, great for a runner like me😄. After stopping for photos I was able to re-catch the runners who passed me. A part from the small bleak area of moorland on top. The area around the hill is stunningly beautiful 😄
