None at the moment. (It took me 10 years to ever join a running club!)

I've only done a couple of events, initially to learn something new and improve my map skills and general navigation. Particularly as a fell runner who has barely needed to use a map and so occasionally decide to brush up ahead of certain races. The only time I've got totally lost in a fell race was earlier in this year when the clag came from nowhere but the direction at that point was almost perfect due north so was dead easy to find! And as much as I know other very seasoned fell runners who say they've never used their map, I decided it couldn't hurt to try. But long story short, I don't know whether I'll continue to do lots or just an occasional dabble.
