An RFR appreciation post.
In the history of Dark Peak many folk have been British Champion but for many years the Male Open trophy alluded us.
In 2016, Rhys set the record straight!
Despite moving north many years ago Rhys remains firmly clad in brown. Here’s a few classics of him courtesy of @stephen.wilson999 who utilises a bit of football banter and abuse to ensure he always grabs the perfect photo.
Rhys shows off all his best attributes; an ability to navigate, a strong sense of humour and those famous game face stares.

Dark Peaks Lisa Watson and her good friend Bodil

Dark Peaks Lisa Watson and her good friend Bodil have been busy squeezing in some late miles and metres for 2019...fast-packing their way across the Balkans on the ancient Via Egnati trail; from Durres, Albania, to Thessaloniki, Greece, ~500km of wild roaming, much free Albanian coffee (thank you friendly locals), and even some freezing river crossings!
After two weeks of adventure the duo are only 9km from their finish point, just in time to see the New Year in. And what a lot they have to celebrate - in finishing we believe they are the first two people mad enough to run the full route! 💪

The real heroes of yesterday’s boundary run, the expert support team!
You can try running far but if there’s no one to feed you it’ll all come crashing down!

The Boundary Run.
The clubs annual ‘long’ jaunt taking in the boundary of Bradfield Parish in its entirety.
In another 30 miles this lot will no doubt be much less smiley! For now they’ll enjoy the suffering!

An image that captures our club spirit: never, never let advancing years tell you that you’re too old to have new adventures! V70 whippersnapper Pete Gorvett holds aloft the Eric Mitchell Memorial Trophy after shading it from Josh Williams and Tom Brunt. Just five seconds between them!

Headstone Carols
One of the clubs quirkiest annual outings, spreading some Christmas cheer at our favourite moorland rock.
This years renditions were rather swift given the damp conditions but as ever turnout was excellent. We all sprinted back to the pub for much deserved curry and beer!

Sometimes it’s a matter of scale.
The Peaks are never adequate training for the Lakes. Nothing in the UK can prepare us for the long grinds of the Alps.
DPer @charlie.elliot.16 decided to take it one step further with a trip to Nepal to take on the @everesttrailrace.
Despite the crazy altitudes he put in a sterling performance coming home with the prize for first vet!

Some fabulous photos from @frankgoldenphotography, one of the peaks most prolific race photographers, at last weekends Litton Christmas Cracker.
It’s safe to say that some members took the fancy dress theme much more seriously than others!

They say that Dark Peak is a drinking club with a running problem.
We put that to the test last night with the annual Leverets Christmas Pub Run across the Peak District.
20 miles
8 pubs
Numerous whisky stops
Many sore heads this morning!

This weekend marks the annual club championships and dinner.
Some club members will be worrying they may soon be in possession of Dark Peaks most famous yet least coveted trophy, the Pertex!
As always there’s some great stories from contenders including “the wrong train”, “the mad farmer” and “the endless disaster”.
With an interesting forecast for tomorrow mornings race there will no doubt be some last minute bids.
All will be revealed in good time!

For most people completing one of the ‘Big Three Rounds’ is the task of a lifetime.
This year @_teamtom_ , @chechikl and Oli went for all three.
Incredible from the three of them, with success from Oli and Tom and Lova oh so close with just the Snow interfering with a Paddy completion.
They were too busy running so not many photos were taken!
Enjoyable hearing them talk about their experiences with many Dark Peakers present at SPOOK #ifyouknowyouknow

So, fancy a challenge next year.....? #bobgrahamround #paddybuckleyround #charlieramsayround

While many of us are winding down to the end of the season Megan and Lisa have been off adventuring at @eurafricatrail. 4 races in 6 days over three separate countries.
True to form they absolutely smashed it coming home with the top two spots on the podium!

Sometimes you just have to go running whatever the weather!
@hoog94 was hoping for a quick blast around the wonderful Rivelin Valley but ended up at an aqua jogging session.
Stay safe in the crazy conditions!

The Warts Revenge, a classic Dark Peak outing. The annual pilgrimage UNDER Burbage Bridge featuring plenty of tussock and requiring knowledge of the “lines” should the clag be down.
11 hardy souls ventured out on what was luckily a bright and clear day.
Shockingly @_teamtom_ took the win receiving the obligatory “victory chain” from RO Austin’s bag of tricks.

A fantastic trio of third place finishes for Dark Peak Members at this years @the_omm!
After a summer of club runs bashing through the heather the brown vests were well primed for this years terrain.
As always a fantastic event, next year we’ll all be back to move one step to the left!

Action from today’s UK #FellRelays in the Peak District National Park. Keswick AC dib a control on Leg 4 after taking the lead from Dark Peak. Just a few miles to go and there’s all to play for.
