    To bring this thread up to date, I had my one year post-op review in September. Surgeon said xrays look fine so he doesn't need to see me again (but to keep in touch). This came after a summer of parkrun improvements and a couple of short local fell races. No problems with the new hips, just me being a bit out of condition. I then set a goal of the LDMT but retired after 4 checkpoints, not because of the hips, but because I'd done a long walk the day before and hadn't recovered. So as a consolation I entered today's Langdale Horseshoe, and finished this time - not fast but it felt great to complete it.
    And with that I feel that I've reached a big milestone in my recovery.

    Well done overall and particularly at Langdale - how did you find the conditions?

    Thanks. Conditions in the middle were nasty - wind strong enough to stop me, rain/hail/sleet (someone told me they'd seen snow), and cold so that the rocks above 700m seemed iced . Fortunately I'd put on my waterproofs long before I lost the feeling in my fingers.
