Welsh 1000m peaks and the Peris are the 2 main ones. The Rhinogs is later and 'different' - very very difficult terrain.
I reckon the Peris is the best, it's got a special feel about it, maybe because its so hard. The 1000m is longer but I think easier.
Longnor Show!
May only get 40-60 running BUT with past winners as Andy Wilton V45 World Mountain Running Champion and Simon Bailey England International!!
whalfedale off road marathon should be much better attended, great route, plenty water stations, a couple of nice lasses at arncliffe with tea and biccies!

Thanks for your replies everyone. There's one or two there that will be worth a try in 2008.
Nice one Bear..... but keep it quiet!!!

Not clever & often stupid..
Autumn Leaves, really enjoyed the day, nice people, good route, scenery, cake comp ,even a video with music, brilliant! all for a couple of quid.
Tebay - in fact anything remotely to do with the Howgills is often underrated. Wonderful running country.
I am a rookie fell runner and up to August this year had only run at Rivington and the Darwen Tower races.
But I agree on the Howgills - The Sedbergh Hills was just unbelievably tough for a first long fell race - but loved it, and despite the low cloud, I thoroughly enjoyed the new Howgills Howler in September and will watch out for other Howgill's races.
It would be nice to get a clear day up there though and be able to enjoy the views!
As most of what I do will be tied in to the FRA Junior Champs as I go with the kids from our Club, I am looking forward to some of the venues this year as all are new to me - with the exception of Stacksteads where I grew up!
Although many walk it , i never think that The Mallerstang Yomp gets recognition. It's fantastic scenery and really well organised. Good friendly Cumbrian welcome and endless tea at the end. First sunday in june for those who don't know it.
