    Name two races which each visit the summits of two hills, and are named after the smaller of the two hills.

    Hint: I know of one in England and one in Wales.

    The Welsh one i assume is Cribyn?

    Although Conwy Mountain technically is a contender, visiting the summit of Allt Wen (assuming that is a separate hill)

    English.... no idea, despite a search of the OS map.

    Yes, I thought Cribyn would be the easier of the two to get.

    I'll kick myself if its a Lakes or Shropshire race....

    But there's too many races i've never heard of in the Peaks/Yorkshire/Lancashire for me to narrow it down.

    Not Lakes or Shropshire.

    Erm... Mount Famine? It also goes to the summit of South Head. Whether you'd class those as different hills I'm not sure.

    Yes, that's the one I had in mind.

    I've thought of another one.

    It's a "long" category race, and the higher of the two summits is 1m higher than the lower one.
