MG - AnniWaltz does clash with PPP
Fairfield probably best bet
there's Coledale Horseshoe in April
and the short Duddon at the beginning of June
Scramble the rock face through the glare of morning sun — to run
I reckon you should do langdale - piece f pi__. NOT!
Kentmere was a cracker. Apart from the main climb at the start there nothing 'major' after it. I bonked at the halfway point though because i was trying to catch daz h and stay ahead of geoff b....which i did neither.
Three shires is one of my favourite races.
Beast of a climb up weatherlam, amazing descent down the the three shires stone, a tough drag up to blisco, a bril descent down past blea water or whatever its called and then up the final fell (your knackered by this point)
great lakes run does not strike me as a starters' race: it looks like a tough old route to me
likewise three shires is navigationally tricky - could come unstuck in poor weather - recce advisable
I've not done the fairfield race but have run the route and that would be a good gentle intro

[QUOTE=Mountain Goatess;286105]I agree ZHR....GLR....7000ft in one day is too much for a first.

it's quite off-piste too by the looks of it: I'm looking forward to having a crack at it next year
