I’m so excited to be back in Sheffield after many years elsewhere. I was a fell racer (and orienteer) when based here between 1984 and 1992 and back then my climbing friends were manufacturing the first resin hand holds and beginning to explore their cellars. I was a level below the very top layer of British fell runners, but I won a few Peak races and the Blackamoor Chase course record of mine (from 1992) is still standing. Cyclocross racing, and particularly the Yorkshire Three Peaks race, has also became a passion in the years since. I’ve raced all over Europe, but there is something very special about Sheffield and the Peak and it’s great to see that reflected at ShAFF.
