There are still 30+ people who haven't renewed their subs or notified the club they are resigning. Club rules state that reminders will be sent out by email in April, if renewals are not made the club reserves the right to terminate the membership. If this is the case any outstanding subs will still need paid before you can join another club, you will also need to pay the full price at races.
Any subs should be sent to the treasurer, the details can be found in the about section of the website.

I sent out details of the above race about a month ago. Since then we have been able to alter the course so that the race will be totally traffic free within the confines of the Mulgrave Estate. The estate is a mixture of woodland and open park and is situated near Sandsend which in its self is approx 2 miles from Whitby.
The gardens of the estate are only open 4 times per year and the date of the race coincides with one of these occasions.
Registration etc will be held at the Sports centre in Lythe with full changing facilities and a superb canteen available both before and after the race.
Junior races will take place on the sports field before the 10k.
All proceeds from the race will go to Mulgrave Community Sports who do a tremendous amount of work for the juniors and the seniors in the area.
I am convinced that this will be best off road 10k in the Northern Region.

Fell Update May 2013
27/5 Meet at
Guisborough Rugby Club
3/6
Meet outside the Tourist Information kiosk at the car park at Great
Ayton
4 NYMAC runners completed the course,
which is a feat in itself within the time limits at the check
points.
Gary Thoms got round in an impressive
4.14.13, Gary Burnip 4.37.28, Sam Healy 4.40.53 and Di Jobson
5.08.04. Well done all! It’s a great event, a
significant step up from the local fell races but the route finding
is pretty straightforward so for those who regularly do the local
fell races and are looking for a new challenge it might be worth
thinking about for next year.
First NYMAC runner home was road man
Wayne Boutell (what’s happening!) in 26th in 1.40.26.
Well done
The final counter in the local Winter
Series and our top runner on the day was Bryan Saysell in 16th
backed up by Mark Edwards in 46th, Paul Lyons in 79th
and David Murphy in 88th he led NYMAC to 7th
in the team competition. Viv Murphy was our sole female runner
finishing in 87th.
Our top overall male runner was Brendan
Anglim who performed solidly over the winter to take 18th
and 5th in his category. Caroline Graham impressed
with 12th overall in the ladies competition and 4th
in the Open Female category. Other top 10 performers were:
Julian Barwick 2nd in M50, Mark Edwards and Paul
Lyons who were 5th and 10th respectively in
the M55, Mike Shaw and Eddie Meehan who were 4th and 9th
in the M60, Doug Welsh and Richard Clarke who were 6th
and 7th on the M65, Di Jobson who was 6th in
the F40 and Sharon Gayter who was 8th in the F45.

Just a reminder for people to send any
reports about fell running to me or directly to Jeff Belt at the
club and we’ll put it on the site or the next update depending on
what you prefer.

Fell Update April 2013
Firstly apologies for having to delay the proposed evening fell runs. I have an ongoing calf problem which doesn’t seem to want to go away. I have decided not to do the 3 Peaks so I am aiming now to start them in May as long as I come through the Stockton Duathlon relatively unscathed. I am now proposing to move them to Monday evenings starting at 6.30, rotating between Pinchinthorpe, Great Ayton and Guisborough Rugby Club. I’ll commit to doing 4 and then review after that depending on interest. They will be easy paced, with re grouping points, so targeted towards those new to fell running. I will probably struggle to keep up at that!
Fell Championship Latest
There were two counters for the club fell championship in March. Frustratingly (for me among others I suspect) the Blakey Blitz was cancelled due to the weather. The Hardmoors 55 did go ahead though and saw excellent performances from Simon Deakin who was 3rd overall and 2nd in category and from Martin Deitrich who was 4th Male 50 and 23rd overall. Frustratingly the results don’t state the club so if any other NYMAC runners did this race please could they email me to let me know so I can add your results to the fell championship.
Simon’s 2nd place in category moves him into the joint competition lead with Paul Lowe and Mark Edwards. The counting race for April is the Guisborough Moors race on Sunday.
Local Race updates
Pinchinthorpe Plod – 7th April. Brendan Anglim continued his impressive form to finish 9th and 3rd in category with Julian Barwick cementing his place in the lead of the M50 winter series with 17th overall and 2nd in category. Gary Burnip 29th and 3rd in category and Mark Edwards in 44th brought the A team home in 3rd with the B team of Paul Lyons 63rd, William Gayter 66th, Mike Shaw 81st and David Murphy 86th coming 7th. It was also good to see a strong performance from the NYMAC women with Sharon Gayter 59th, Caroline Graham 73rd, Georgie Hill 75th and Viv Murphy in 87th getting 4th in the team competition.
There are just two races left in the Esk Valley winter series, an overview of NYMAC performances will be given in the next update.
The Cleveland Survival also took place organised by the Mountain Rescue Team. Here’s a link to the results http://www.clevelandmrt.org.uk/resultslist.php?id=26 It doesn’t list club but I know that many NYMAC runners took part and put in good performances, well done all.

Stokesley Duathlon
If anyone has any reports please send them in.
Three NYMAC runners were at the Haweswater half marathon at Bampton near Carlisle on Sunday 3rd February. Conditions were pretty good, not too cold and very little breeze. This is quite a tough, undulating course, with a long downhill to the waterside then turn round and straight back up again. Strangely enough, the uphill seemed easier than the downhill on this occasion. At the finish, we were presented with a commemorative mug (yet another useless giveaway), and a free cup of tea if we were prepared to wait in a long queue. I wasn’t.
Wayne Bouttell lead the way for NYMAC, finishing in 16th place in a field of 484 in a time of 1hr 21mins, which was a good effort for his first time at this race. I finished in 1hr 38mins, well off a PB but 4 minutes better than last year. I always say I hate this race due to the hills, and yet I’ve run it 6 times now.
Fell Update March 2013
I was expecting some stiff competition for the Fell Manager’s post at February’s AGM but no one stepped forward when nominations were asked for, unless you count the tumbleweed that rolled across the stage. So it looks like you’re stuck with me for the next year.
Fell Championship Latest
There were no counting races for the club championship during February but there are two events in March, the Hardmoors 55 Ultra marathon on Saturday March 23rd and Blakey Blitz on the following day March 24th. So come the end of March the championship will begin to take shape, I’ll continue to provide updates.
Local Race updates
Broughton Woods Wobble – 5th Feb. When I did the update for February I couldn’t view the result for some reason, but now you can. Brendan Anglim was 12th overall and second in category with Stefan McLoughlin 28th and Julian Barwick in 40th taking the A team to 7th place. Ian Higgins 68th Eddie Meehan 76th Mike Shaw 95th and Richie Clarke 97th also qualified a B team in 12th place.
Commondale Clart – 17th Feb. Apparently some of the front runners got lost leaving NYMAC member Joe Blackett to take victory. Unfortunately (for us not Joe) Joe runs for Dark Peak when he runs fell. Nevertheless Stefan McLoughlin claimed an excellent 4th place with Juilan Barwick in a solid 22nd, Ian Higgins 50th and Eddie Meehan 64th (and second in category) bringing the NYMAC home in 6th place. Other NYMAC performances were: Phil Hughes-Narb’gh in 73rd, Paul Lyons in 75th and Mike Shaw in 87th
Glaisdale Rigg – 3rd March. A great run by Brendam Anglim saw him take 13th place to head the NYMAC runners. Paul Christon (me) returned to some sort of form to take 19th, while Stefan McLoughlin narrowly held off Julian Barwick (who unsportingly tried to sneak up on his younger rival at the finish!) to take 33rd place with Julian in 34th. Gary Thoms was rugby tackled to the floor by a rival runner about a yard short of the finish line but recovered to take 53rd place with Paul Lyons (80th) Sharon Gayter (98th) husband William Gayter (100th) and Graham Tyerman (101st) completing the NYMAC performances in a field of 132. The men’s A team took 4th with the B team in 11th of 16 teams.
Winter series latest – with 3 races still to go Julian Barwick is doing us proud leading the M50 category, Mike Shaw is 3rd in the M60, Brendan Anglim is 4th in the M40. Meanwhile in the ladies Caroline Graham is 3rd in the female open category and Di Jobson is 6th in the F40. Good performances all.

Feet in the Clouds by Richard Askwith
If I were to recommend any book on fell running, or any type of running actually, it would be this book. I read it when it came out in 2005 and it inspired me to have a go despite being past my prime! It’s a mixture of running obsession and fell running history but is very skilfully written. I know that a few people in the club have read it and have a copy if anyone wants to borrow it. The section on Joss Naylor alone is worth getting a copy for, it’ll make you feel guilty for ever complaining about being too tired to get out and do a run, which is a good thing, I think!?
Reports
If anyone would like to write anything about their fell running experiences, whether it’s a race they’ve done or something else, then please send it to me or directly to Jeff Belt at the club and we’ll put it on the site or the next update depending on what you prefer.
Wednesday Evening Runs from April
There has been some interest so I still plan to do these, it would be good to get a bit more interest though. I’ll put a separate entry on the website nearer the time.
Thanks

Kevin McLoughlin, Sharon & Bill Gaytor all raced at the Snake Lane 10, with Kevin finishing in 1:02:18, full results can be found here.
The club had a large turnout in the final round of the NYSD Cross Country of the season, with another good performance from Joe Blackett who finished 14th overall. Full results here.
The next round is on 3rd March in the rescheduled event at the Acorn Centre in Acklam.
Race report: St
Wilfrid’s Muddy Boots 10k Ripon 10th February
This was the first time I’d run this race, but the
“muddy” part sounded fun. In reality, a large part of the race was on
road. Always difficult to know what footwear to use for mixed terrain
races, as good trail shoes tend to wear rather quickly on tarmac, and
road shoes have poor grip on mud etc. Anyway, I decided on the former
thankfully. Fairly undulating, but acceptable, even to me! The muddy
sections were really slippery. A cool start, but not too cold to wear
shorts and T shirt, and even the gloves were removed at about 4 miles.
The array of homemade cakes etc. in the school hall at the finish was
quite something. Unfortunately, an elite athlete such as myself could
not partake, and immediately went home for an ice bath. There were 329
finishers, only Bob Howe and myself from NYMAC unfortunately. The winner
was Jack Simpson from Leeds AC in 34’57”, and I finished close behind in
49’00”, clearly pushing the eventual winner all the way! Bob finished in
56’29”. All in all, a race I would do again.

Fell Update February 2013
Fell Championship Latest
There have now been 2 qualifying races, the Captain Cooks fell race and the Hardmoors 30 which were both held on New Year’s Day. Remember it’s 20 points for a win in category (for the races that are categorised) then going down in descending order 19 for second and so on. The Hardmoors 30 results don’t list the club so if any one in the club did this race please let me know and I’ll work out their age cat position and make sure it gets included in the championship. Early leaders from the Captain Cooks race are Mark Edwards and Paul Lowe in the men’s with 19 points each and Di Jobson in the women’s with 16 points.
Wednesday nights from April
From April, if there’s enough interest, I am thinking of organising some off road runs. The summer fell series races are on Wednesday evenings so I thought that we could recce the route the week before. Pace would be easy so suitable for those new to fell running. For other weeks we could plan some off rood training runs, again aimed at those new to running off road, so there would be regrouping so people don’t get lost! Let me know if this interests you.
3 Peaks
Entries are now open and stop when it reaches 1,000. It currently stands at 777 so if there are if you are looking to enter you’ll probably need to do it in the next week to be on the safe side. Here’s the link http://www.threepeaksrace.org.uk/index.html
Broughton Woods Wobble – 5th Feb
The results are listed as being on the Esk Valley site but when I click on the link nothing happens, so I’ll provide an overview in next months update.
However, the next scheduled meeting will be at Richmond on Sunday 17th February.
AGM 2013 will be held on Wednesday 20th February at Guisborough Rugby Club (Belmangate) from 7:30pm for 8:00pm start.
The annual club subscriptions are due on February 1st 2013. Unfortunately due to England Athletics increases (from £5.00 to £10.00) we have had to increase the subs this year accordingly. This year’s subs are as follows: -
Adult (16 and over) £15.00
Student (competitive) £12.00
Non Competitive/Social £5.00
Unwaged £5.00
You should receive your renewal notice in the next few days. Please detach and return the completed bottom part of the form to the current Treasurer, Barry Moody (details on the form). Subs may also be paid at the AGM.
Please be aware that several committee members will be standing down this year and therefore these positions will become vacant and need to be filled urgently.
The vacant positions will be: -
Treasurer
Secretary
Ladies Manager
The fell manager position was filled mid season, after a resignation last year, and so the current manager will need to be formally voted on to the committee at the AGM, if he is still willing to stand.
Anyone interested in filling these roles please send nominations, which must also be seconded, in writing (an email will suffice), to the current secretary (bill@nym.ac) before the AGM. Nominations may also be tendered at the AGM.
Following a risk assessment of the XC course at Acklam today, it has been
decided that the course is unsafe due to the icy conditions. With the
weather forecast for the coming days predicting further snow and severe
frosts the meeting scheduled for Sunday (20th) has regrettably been called
off.
There may be an opportunity to reschedule the meeting later, I will keep you
informed.
The next scheduled meeting therefore will be at Richmond on Sunday 17th
February.
Local Fell Round Up
Eskdale Eureka, 2nd December
Kevin McLoughlin took 13th in the Eskdale Eureka, with Julian Barwick in 36th and Mark Edwards in 44th. I decided not to run having hurt my back the day before so felt somewhat guilty when we did not qualify a men’s team (can’t remember if this has happened before?) having only three counters. Happily the women did with Di Jobson coming home in 67th overall backed up by Caroline Graham in 79th and so took 3rd in the women’s team competition.
Guisborough Woods, 27th December
Kevin McLoughlin was once again our top performer as he took 16th place with Jon Parker taking an excellent 19th, Gareth Wilson in 30th and Chris Jeffries in 31st to bring the A team home in second place on a new 2 lap route due to tree felling. A great turnout for the club at this event with us also qualifying a B and a C team.
Captain Cooks, New Year’s Day
A great effort by Nymac qualifying 3 men’s and 2 women’s teams in a huge field of competitors who had to negotiate icy tarmac and lots of mud. We won the men’s team competition narrowly from York Knavesmire and I redeemed myself being 4th counter after not turning up for the Eureka race. Meanwhile the women’s A team performed excellently and were only denied 2nd place by the narrowest of margins. Paul Lowe pushed Jim Bulman all the way to finish 2nd and Kevin McLoughlin continued his current run of good form to take 13th. Other notable performances were: Wayne Boutell in 18th, Eddie Meehan 3rd in his age cat, Mark Edwards 2nd in his age cat and Di Jobson who was the first Nymac woman home.
This was the first counter in the new 2013 NYMAC fell championship. 20 points will be awarded for an age cat win, 19 for second and so on down to 1 point for 20th or below, with your 6 best results to count from the events previously mentioned on the site. I’ll publish an interim table after once we are a few races in.
Results for all the above can be found at: http://www.eskvalleyfellclub.org/results.htm

NYMAC Fell Championship 2013
Next year we will be introducing a fell championship for the club. For the first year it will just consist of local races to encourage members and those new to fell running to get involved. Depending on how successful it is we might include races outside the local area next year and also set a more challenging qualification in terms of Fell Running Association (FRA) categories, but to start with we will keep it simple! I will give regular updates throughout the year.
Details of qualification criteria are below:
Top 6 results to count from a combination of any of the below:
· Captain Cooks
· Blakey Blitz
· Guisborough Moors
· Fox and Hounds Chase
· Ossy Oiks
· Gribdale Gallop
· Guisborough Grunt
· Roseberry Topping
· Guisborough 3 Tops
· Clay Bank West
· Eskdale Eureka
(from the Esk Valley series)
· Bransdale Fell Race
· Hanging Stone Leap
· Osmotherley Phoenix
· Pathfinder
· Any of the Hardmoors series 30, 55, 60,110.
Scoring
Overall place will count from the Hardmoors series, Hanging Stone, Ossy Phoenix and the Pathfinder, for the others it is the age category placing that will count, this will make the competition as open as possible. If scores are tied for the best 6 races then it will go to the 7th best, then 8th and so on until a clear winner is found.

Circumnavigating Derwentwater in the Lake District.
This race starts in the market place at Keswick,
goes along Borrowdale, crosses the bridge at Grange and back along the
road at the base of Catbells, through Pontinscale and back to Keswick.
Sunday saw excellent weather. Blue skies, no wind, sun and a good
covering of snow on the mountain tops! It was warm enough for shorts and
vest (and gloves).
Only 2 NYMac members competed.

The Club had four entrants in this years race, described as ‘challengingly undulating’ by the organisers. Jon Skidmore, Nick Simmons, Bill Ferguson and Di Jobson all gave up the competing attractions of Andy Murray and Formula 1 in favour of afternoon tea at Kilburn and the chance to set pbs over the unusual distance of 7 miles 351 yards.
Over 260 runners found themselves in a warm ,
muggy microclimate near The White Horse ready to tackle a very scenic route
taking in Coxwold, Bylands Abbey and the Mouseman woodworking museum. At
least the scenery took the mind off the effects of the hills.
Gareth Wilson is organising the Bransdale Fell Race on 9th August starting at 7:15pm, now named Tom’s Bransdale Fell Race in memory of a colleague who helped organised the first race and sadly passed away earlier in the year.

Thanks to Martin for organising the event again.
Eddie Meehan has sent the following few words about the olympic torch parade that passed through Teesside and North Yorkshire recently, with Doug and Sharon taking part.
After an excellent turn out from North York Moors AC
for the 5.45 am ‘Dawn Run’ that seemed to have all the faces of an Albert
Park Parkrun
and a NYMAC training night put together, the Olympic torch left
Middlesbrough’s Transporter Bridge for Redcar where NYMAC member and
ultra distant record holder Sharon Gayter carried the Olympic torch for her
stint as one of the honoured 8000. A little further on at Carlin
How fellow NYMAC member and prolific schools sports promoter Doug Welsh did
his 300-metre run with the torch.

Full results can be found here.
There were 3 NYMAC
runners in the Blaydon Race on Saturday, results can be found here > http://www.joelee.co.uk/2012/blaydon12results.pdf.
For once the weathermen got it right, very
wet was the prediction for Saturday and sure enough stood on the Start line
the rain began to start falling, at first it seemed perfect running
conditions, little or no wind and gentle rain. The Start was a real free for
all and experienced runners stood shoulder to shoulder with runners hoping
to finish without stopping. The Start was slightly delayed and through the
first mile it was difficult to get into a rhythm, roads were narrow and full
of twists and turns leading up to the life centre, hen parties and stag
weekends shouted encouragement as the 4000 runners passed close to nearby
pubs. Once the run got onto the wider scottswood road people were able to
get into there race pace and the field thinned out, but it was then the
heavens opened and the downpour started. At one point the race threatened to
become a swim as runners battled against ankle deep water, spectators turned
out in there 3's and 4's to shout encouragement covered in waterproofs,
bands played from under bridges and the St John's ambulance took cover in
bus shelters, for a good mile the rain bounced up inches off the road
leaving the runners and the few brave spectators alike completely soaked.
The rain eased as the final mile came into sight and a larger number of
spectators greeted the runners after a tight twisty mile. As the the finish
line came into view runners came upon the final hurdle as the last 100 yards
were on grass, it was more like a marsh after the first few hundred people
had been over it and spectators told tales of falls and trips on the wet
slippy surface. Once past the finish line a welcome dry t shirt, goody bag
including a bottle of beer and black pudding for those brave enough to eat
it greeted the runners.
Over all, it was a very flat course and 3
excellent times from the NYMAC participants despite the weather.
Please see the attached spreadsheet about training sessions for the coming months, sessions are road & track, excellent speedwork sessions.
The prices for the track are as follows;
£2.25 - Under 17 years (members)
