    Saddleworth (s)
    Scafell Pike (s)
    Carnethy (m)
    Buttermere Sailbeck (m)
    Moel Eilio (m)

    Also recommend Grasmere, Burnsall and Hebden for a good laugh
    If near death experience is your thing try the Welsh 1000s
    A MM is always worth a shot

    Or if you want something a bit different. Try the "Midsummer Madness" 3 race series. 3 races, one weekend.
    Must agree with FB
    but adding 3 peaks instead of flowerscar.

    Noonstones and the Trog are especially good in a "Will this never end, I am going to give up fell running as soon as I stop " sort of way.

    Tough to narrow it down to five, but i find myself returning to Borrowdale, the KIMM/OMM (long score) and the Three Peaks year on year. The LDMT is something i'd hate to not do again and finally, the much much underrated Blencathra - as stunning an evening race as you'll ever find.

    LOVED Peris Horseshoe (long) which i just did for the first time so that probably may well feature one day....

    The Mountain Trail is fantastic you've got to at least try it once.
    Ennerdale I would rate this over Wasdale anyday
    Borrowdale is a classic.
    Scafell Pike is very underrated, I can never understand why it doesn't get the massive enteries of Snowdon or the Ben.
    Anni Waltz great route and the best cakes of any race
