Bucket List

We've all heard the usual swimming with dolphins etc. But what about a Bucket List from a fell runner's perspective?

I'll go first...

- Bivi on a mountainside, preferably on me tod.

- Marshal in a fell race, preferably on Pike o' Blisco

Any more...?

Sorry mine are not fell running related but they might resonate:

- Cycle from Lhasa to Kathmandu next year.

- Complete Trans Rockies mountain bike race (even if it means listening to 29er apostles all day).

- Front row tickets for Dita Von Tease' next UK tour.


Maybe the last one was a bit unrealistic; not sure my heart is strong enough to cope these days ;-)

- Make GUB STFU ;)

- Terra Australis MTB stage race

- Trans Andes MTB stage race

- Cycle from Llhasa to Kathmandu

But firstly this weekend: complete a MTB 24 hour endurance race...

OK, also not running related, but after injuries to ankle and knee, I can no longer run... so I practice fell cycling in stead ;)

Alot of them aren't fell running I'm afraid:

1 year cycle touring trip - RTW/Americas
Speights Coast to Coast
Tour Divide
Trans Alp/Trans Rockies
Devises to Westminister Kayak Race
Ironman
3 Peaks Yacht Race/Scottish Island Peaks
Bob Graham

I have often though about this, and tried to narrow it down to 10 things that i'd like to do that are fairly realistic, not in any order....

1) Run sub 3 hours at Sierre - Zinal - Maybe not realistic but i must keep trying!

2) Run UTMB

3) Run Western States 100

4) Spend a month cycle touring around France

5) Win a fell race

6) Climb Cenotaph Corner

7) Climb an 8000m peak that isn't Everest

8) Bob Graham round in the only logical way, solo and unsupported

9) Spend a whole summer running mountain races in Europe

10) Spend a whole summer running mountain races in the US

One can only dream..........

Some really interesting ones already!

Sorry, I meant not necessarily fell running related, but just from a fell runner/outdoor lover's point of view.

Kilimanjaro - a group of us were originally going to do this about 27 years ago but it fell through.

Kili is on my list as well :)

Perhaps I've mistaken this thread for the master maker.
