There are a few things which could boost numbers for the LDMT:
Who knew there was a first YHA member prize, and an Outward Bound Trophy (past or present instructors at OB Trust)? Perhaps both these organisations might help publicise the race?
I thought for a while that LDMT would fit well with a number of other similar races in a Lakes Classic series (similar to the Lakes Classic fell series). Copeland and Allerdale Chases (2 separate races), Tim Watkins Trophy and Warrior O Trial would make up a good series.
