IS there much late August?

That end of May/start of June time is crazy with Old counties/Jura/Duddon/Ennerdale/Welsh 1000m all within 2-4 weeks of each other.

Out of all them I think its the W1000's which suffers, but now the route seems much better, maybe it'll get more of a following.

I agree Iain. Also in the Lakes and on weekends alone you have Coledale and the Anni Waltz usually in the back end of April. Then along come Coniston, Sailbeck, Fairfield, OCT, Glaramara and Helvellyn all in May so moving something to later in the summer might make sense. Although I do enjoy the prospect of Lakes race after Lakes race once April comes around!!

If Duddon is going to change dates for 2012 it would be nice if there was some coordination between race organisers, perhaps a straight swap as suggested by wrross. I imagine what most people would not want is for Duddon and Jura to be on the same weekend. Maybe swapping them around would make everyone happy?

I suspect there is a good reason there are not many races in August - loads of people are away on their hols. I really like having all the races in April/May, it is the only way I can get fit enough to get round Jura!

Please note that the following dates have been agreed for 2012:

May26 Jura
June2 Ennerdale
June9 Duddon
June16 Great Lakes

Great Lakes is an English Championship counter in 2012 and would normally be the week before Arrochar Alps, a British Championship counter in 2012.

Arrochar Alps, therefore, for 2012 only will be 3 weeks later on 7th July.

I don't know. Borrowdale always seems to be very popular.

I've just got back from holiday to find that the Adventure Show episode that features the Jura fell race aired on 9th August. This is a heads up for anyone interested - it is available on BBC iPlayer, but today is the last day! If you download the BBC iPlayer download manager first and use it to get a copy of the program, you can keep the downloaded episode for 7 days after you have first watched it.

Am gonna a burn a copy from a Sky+ box on to dvd if anyone wants a copy

Andy - I'd love a copy, I'll PM you later with contact details etc...

ALH....aka...

Hi andy. I'd love a copy if you manage to burn it from iplayer, it won't let me watch from Belgium!

Cheers. Es
