Besides the Three Peaks Race, has anybody heard any news of the other counting races ?
M Black Combe Eng 8 March
L Spelga Skyline Brit 5 April
L Three Peaks Eng 27 April
M Moel Eilio Brit 17 May
M Durisdeer Brit 14th June
S Blackstone Edge Eng & Brit 28th June
M Kentmere Eng 20th July
L Borrowdale Eng & Brit 2nd Aug
S Dufton Eng 23rd Aug (course to be amended)
S Morven (tbc) Brit 20th Sept
Will the number of entries have to be limited on some of these?
Is Moel Eilio still the same route as the last time it was in the championship in 2003 starting and finishing at the Youth Hostel? That was a lovely day from what i remember:D
Best day of the summer if I recall correctly :eek:.Quote:

So what's the climb required for a 24 mile race.... ;)Quote:

If it makes you feel any better, on Rydal Round this year Domonic Raby of Chorley was with me on the same climb up, is it Hart Crag, and said "short cut this way." Remembering the previous years balls-up I went over the top... look at the Rydal round results and see where he ended up!
Cheers for bringing up my slight navigational error on rydal round which pretty much saw me doing a complete u turn and heading up fairfield for a second time. well done for langdale by the way.
Aaaaargh!!!
Due to my wife working every other weekend I'd sussed that I could run 7/10 races & I was well chuffed :) .
Now she tells me I can manage 3/10 due to her work & I may lose one of them due to holidays :( .
Ah! Whoops.Quote:

Yeah, Langdale was fun.
The latest information I have been given for the 2008 British and English Championships is as follows:
BRITISH
Short: Blackstone Edge (Sat. 28th June), Dufton (Sat. 30th Aug.)
Medium: Moel Elio (Sat. 17th May), Durisdeer (Sat. 14th June)
Long: Spelga Skyline (Sat. 5th April), Borrowdale (Sat. 2nd Aug.)
ENGLISH
Short: Blackstone Edge (Sat. 28th June), Dufton (Sat. 30th Aug.)
Medium: Black Combe (Sat. 8th March), Kentmere (Sun. 20th July)
Long: Three Peaks (Sat. 26th April), Borrowdale (Sat. 2nd Aug.)
Dufton has replaced the Short British Championship race which was previously expected to be in Scotland. It is also possible that the Long race in Northern Ireland on 5th April may not be Spelga - but it will be in N.I. and on 5th April.
If not Spelga, will the NI race be the same weekend, i work shifts and have to book time off work!
Yes it would be on the same day, I'll edit my previous comments!!Quote:
