Black Mountains, 17 miles of sheer brilliance, down to the hand written results you get sent in the post a few weeks later!
Langdale, as it was my first fell race outside South Wales, with an intimidatingly large field of runners... Never seen so many fell runners in once place

Consider yourself lightly; consider the world deeply.
PPP, holme moss, tanky's and a few other long ones
not done anni waltz and is a cetain fav by eveyones account here will make it a certain next time round.
ppp was a horrible race for me this year hoped for so much and suffered the whole way round!
Edale Skyline; brilliant weather, gorgeous scenery and bertie bassett handing out jelly babies, it doesn't get any better!
Didn't get to do half the races I wanted to this year due to injury in May/June followed by pregnancy in July!...but as a newcomer it has to be PPP ...didn't get my place til March... not enough training...but did it...yeah! x

That sort of race appeals to me despite the fact I'm likely to struggle completely with it.Originally Posted by Alphin

As I've done so few fell races this year and they've all been less than wonderful. I'll opt for the Pentland Skyline race as it was such a mental struggle for me, just dipping inside cut off at Drover's Road and then losing places between then and the finish where I just about avoided finishing last. Also as it was part of a great long weekend away in Edinburgh which took in a Fall gig on the Sunday night.
Hoping for a far more successful 2009
Black Mountains was a classic this year. Perfect weather, friendly field and hills gettin' steeper!
Long Mynd was its usual gnarly self, plus had the pleasure of meeting up with some Fell Ponies.

Monmouth
Whernside for me too, then Blencathra, maybe Kinder in 3rd place.
Not done any big races, but I have to say MOST of the races I have done this year I have enjoyed (Once I finished).
Ones that stick in my mind though are Two Lads Fell Race, Lingmell Dash and Shepherds Skyline.
Wanted to try three shires but it wasn't to be. Next year though!!!
