I found fell running by accident after stumbling on an advert for a race up and around the Sugar Loaf outside Abergavenny. Despite being completely out of my depth (I recall a blustery wind and snow) and coming in right at the back of the field, I was hooked. It was a number of years before I realised that there was something called the Welsh Fell Runners Association who did... well, I wasn’t sure what they did.

Like many of the current Committee members, we are simply well meaning individuals who volunteer their time to help organise a calendar of events for the benefit of all fell runners. Given my current level of fitness I am most likely to be found stood on a hill marshalling as opposed to racing.

I served as the WFRA’s Secretary for 12 years and oversaw many positive changes during this period before stepping down at the 2024 AGM. I still remain as one of the Association’s Trustees.
