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.

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.
Hills and Guinness!
