I was also hoping to have my first attempt at Coniston.
As to the LDMT and September, that is shaping up potentially to be a crazy month. It's always hectic in terms of races, but add in the re-arranged Y3P, the Champs race the week before, and a possible re-arranged inter-counties, there's going to be some tired legs by the 30th...!
Looking at the current dates, i think that unfortunately i may have to forego the LDMT this year.
