Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Mildly irritating, rather than gear grinding, is Trail Running magazine's penchant for indulging in some sort of trail ultra arms race, "bigger, better, longer, harder", or some such. Enough with the distance-related superlatives, please. And I really don't give a toss what people's toes look like, or how muddy they got at the weekend. Some text would be nice, actually, more text and less glossy pictures. Thanks.

Lou is ok apart from the giggle, at least she doesn'tthink she is showbiz.

Bill is fine, he's a bit old but that is good too, not enough older people on the box. I still like Kate Silverton who seems pretty good to me.

I like a bit of sauce on the BBC sofa in the mornings. I'll miss Susanna.

Louise Minchin has manned the first water station at Chester mara for the last two years so she gets my vote. And she's a triathlete.
