Hi one and all,
Anybody have a list of the British and English champ races for 2019? I imagine they’ll be released in the next month but thought I’d see if anybody knew now.
Thanks

This is the time of year when I normally respond with "the FRA have once again overlooked Shutlingsloe". However, I can now also add: I can confirm Groovy Kinder Love has not been included.
Let's enjoy the few weeks of mindless guessing before anyone confirms either way.
Is it Ennerdale's turn again yet?
I have heard that the two longs are Howgills and Great Lakes.
Surely it's about time Peris was in the British Champs again?
We need new races...What about the classic Shutlingsloe?
What about starting it like a 50’s motor race? But instead of having to run to your car, everyone takes their shoes off before the start and puts them in a pile, then you have to find them and put them on before you can start. That will thin the field out.
Ilam (south peaks) as a short I have heard. A medium in the Dales (Black fell?) Howgills and Great Lakes what I'm hearing for L also.
About time we had a Coledale/Fairfield/Consiton as a M again IMO, though we did have many a cumbrian race in the eng champs last season (4 of 6)

Reliably informed that Creag Dhubh is the Scottish short race in the British champs next year.
The route description doesn't sell it to me though!
Rob and Sharon got their recces in early.

Ilam would be a great choice. The only snag I can see is in moving the race from a midweek evening slot to the weekend. Anyone who has been to Ilam will know that it is jam packed with tourists virtually every weekend due to its beauty and National Trust status.
Hopefully they will find a way
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
