Durham Fell Runners

Training Calendar 2008

Members of all abilities meet thursday night every week at the Visitor Centre in Hamsterley Forest. As training runs usually depart at 7.00pm, you should aim to arrive before 6.45pm. Note that the forest and surrounding countryside have no lighting so in the darker months you will require a head torch. Park adjacent to the visitor centre in staff car park. Toilets available nearby. You are responsible for paying for access to the forest, even on training nights. Reduced price season tickets are available for DFR members from the visitor centre.

Training sessions for the coming weeks are set out below. Sessions typically last from 7-8.15pm plus some longer sessions which are stated as such. All are subject to change dependent upon weather and turnout.

Informal runs also take place at 9.30am on most Sundays from the main toilet block in the car park near the Visitor Centre (details for these runs can be found on the forum).
