Auld Lang Syne Fell Race

Steve Worthington’s account of the classic New Year’s Eve Fell race.

Four harriers decided to cram one more fell race into 2023. Auld Lang Syne was a true feast for the senses with wind, mud, bog, and bagpipes! Despite us all feeling weary and a little worse for wear – full of cheese/hungover/recovering from illness – we all made it around and survived the river crossing.

I found myself sandwiched between Santa and a hot dog in the last mile 🎅🏻🌭- so had to work hard to show Santa the off-centre stripe is the only way to wear red and white 🔴⚪️…oh, and not get beaten by a sausage 🌭

Richard said, ‘it was a great way to blow off a hangover and finish off the year. It definitely finished me off.’
