- Kettlewell area of the dales - what are the stats on the Wharfedale 3 peaks?
- A Peak District race outside of the Skyline would be a bit of a permissions no-go at the moment given the work being done on Kinder and Bleaklow, but hopefully in the not-too distant future - maybe a resurrection of the Glossop AL race?
- Lancashire bits of the Pennines hills has had its permissions issues of late but maybe Saddleworth Moors area?
- Castle Carr has stood up this year in W Yorkshire, much more scope in that area?
- NYMs aren't that severe and very traily but there could be scope.
- I'm, presuming FTOP is a bit late in the season, but we've been over Pendle so often in recent years maybe it's due a rest!
- Surely there's options around the North Pennines/Cheviots? The Chevy Chase stats (32.2km/1219m) aren't too far off the actual Edale Skyline stats (officially 34km/1373).
