Here at Tattenhall Runners we have a small but active band of members that regularly take to the Fells to train and to race. We organise the Llantisilio Mountain Race near Llangollen every April and enter a team in the British Relays each year.

Peter Taylors successful attempt during the weekend of the 17th & 18th May 2008 is now captured in an excellent account spanning before, during and after the event. This inspirational read shows the dedication of the man and the bond of support from friends and family helping him achieve this toughest of fell challenges. Illustrated by Paul Millers photos the emotion highs and lows are captured wonderfully truly a must read for all fell and non fell runners.
