HELL UP NORTH by Tracy Parry

This morning I discovered the delights of the 'Hell Up North' run in Delamere Forest. Having completed my first season of local fell runs and the Rivington Half Marathon I thought I would be well prepared! Hell Up North is different. After the first hill the route took us into the forest. There were winding tracks, lots of ups and downs then I went through the first bog and got stuck in the deep mud (temporarily). The next bog was even deeper with mud/sludge up to my waist. Then came the 'Hills of Hell' which took you up and down nearly vertical slopes (thanks to the fellow runner who gave me a gentle push up at one poin)t. Then came the 'Bog of Doom' which every one should experience at least once. Having completed the 10 mile route (it is not measured accurately) in 2 hours, got muddy from head-to-toe and a few bruises I will definitely be entering in 2011. A definite date in the calendar for any mud/thrill seekers.

Thank you
Tracy.
