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 :)
Post on a bucket list thread
Woo hoo! :)Quote:

How long before the invitations from race organisers start coming in? ;)
I'll settle for getting running properly again.
Finish the Lakeland 100 with a smile on my face, settle for a grimace, after that I may find a bucket to kick.
Bivvi on a mountainside on yer tod sounds like a dam good idea:thumbup:
Bob Graham next year, providing I miss the bucket I'm kicking after L100.
Finish in the top half of a fell race.
Complete a UTMB that I've started.
Get back into Western States for that elusive sub-27.
Complete a Bob Graham? That's a step too far.
What's a bucket list?
A list of things to do before you kick the bucket Nick......I think.
You've got a BG in you I reckon Nick:wink:
1. Complete my Paddy Buckley
2. Complete My Ramsay
3. Return to racing to complete the Lakeland classics
4. Get back to 5min 30 mile reps - for 26 miles
5. Everest Marathon
6. Run in the Alps
7. Have helped people achieve at least 3 succesful rounds per year every year
8. Have a full week running and wild camping in the highlands
9. run in a few more countries and get me of f the unlucky 13
10. Win another race - cant do the same on as it is no longer held
I would also like to take my wife to visit some of the place I used to live in India, Africa, Brazil.
Will try and delay the bucket kicking for a long time so I can fit it all in.
Run/yomp LEJOG
Get round Wicken Hill on Friday in less than 33 minutes would be nice
Yep, I'd love to experience that. I imagine the solitude and quiet would be amazing.Quote:

I have added one, to the top of the bucket list: ride the Great Divide, then race it a year later... It may just happen this year, if things go to plan :D
Need to find someone to look after the cat for a couple of months or so though, as this is going to take 4-6 weeks :-o
Backpack and trog Land's End to John O'Groats. It will happen..... :)
We've just had the obligatory whip round to buy a few syndicate tickets lottery. I reckon this should be a good way of spending the first couple of months after winning a 10 million share of the 100 million jackpot?Quote:
