Not too much planned yet:-
Jan - Lamb's Longer Leg

Mar - Edale Skyline
- Lad's Leap
Apr - Kinder Downfall
- Anniversary Waltz

May - Crowden Horseshoe

- Goyt's Moss
June - Duddon Valley
- Ennerdale
- Boar's Head
- Kinder Trog
- Shelf Moor

Well, that should do for starters. The observant amongst you will notice that 3 of those races are on 19th May. I think the Old County Tops will be the one!
Geoff
How did you do in the Pennine race over Shelf Moor etc. last Sunday? We caught a glimpse of you on James’ Thorn and a few other runners.
My planned races are:
Jan – Kinder Trial
Feb – Wadsworth Trog and maybe Mickleden Straddle
March – High Peak Marathon and Edale Skyline
April – Manx Mountain Marathon or Three Peaks and Kinder Downfall
May – Crowden Horseshoe. Would like to do Old County Tops
June – Ennerdale
July – Wasdale
its just in your avatar you look like you are hopping round - i thought 'what a guy'!Quote:

Don't propose to list them all here but I would expect to complete somewhere in the region of 35/40, but the important ones for me are Coniston, Blisco, Ingleborough, Borrowdale, Ben Nevis, 3 Shires and Langdale. Will probably help out with a BG and might just think about a classic like Ennerdale or Wasdale - that will depend on how training go's and holidays.
Doubt I'll do as many as Swoop managed in 2006 though!
I'm hoping to be fit enough to do the Manx Mountain Marathon this year, however at the moment I'm not to hopeful of bettering my time last year (really frustrating as I know I can smash it). I would also like to have another crack at the 3PYR again!!
I'll probably do the whole IOM Fellrunning league again.
I did one official fell race in 2006, so I had better do another one in 2007 ..... plenty of time yet.
ben nevis
edale
loads out the calendar
but would love to do borrowdale
prob about 30 odd races

It was a really tough route, but ideal for a training run - I'll send you the grid refs if you like, and you can give it a try.
See you at the Kinder Trial.
All the best,

Geoff, a few of us reccied the first half of the route on our club night last Thursday but we called it a day at the Lower Shelf flag (CP5?) due to poor visibility (you couldn’t see the Higher Shelf trig from a few metres away). I seem to recall that the flag in White Clough was quite tricky to find also. The course looked challenging with plenty of climb involved anyway.
Just in case anyone's interested (I am)...
March Edale
April FLM(:( )
May Old Counties Tops (partner permitting)
June Duddon
July Wasdale
August Borrowdale
Etc. etc...
MH

Maybe 50 again if I stay fit.

If i recommend a race which i'm sure quite a few will have tried, The Mallerstang Yomp, first sunday in June, 23 miles , 3700' of ascent. Done it for 10 years, had every weather possible, but it's all fun, views great and endless tea and sarnis at the end, showers, very hot. It starts at Kirby Stephen School. Apart from the yomp here's my list for 2007 .
Feb Rombalds
Mar Trollers Trot
April Guisborough
May Cronkley
June Yomp
July Lyke Wake
Sept Simonside show
Oct 9 Edges or Loch Ness Marathon
Nov Roaches
Dec Simonside cairns
Feet up after that for a rest!!
