3 peaks or Anni Waltz ?.

[Witton Park]

at least this is just for one year

Really? Is that confirmed?

[GeoffB]

how are they the same area?


is not what constitutes a "really top race" a matter of opinion?

there are clashes all over the calendar

at least this is just for one year

there are some clashes that happen every year

e.g. the first weekend in September sees: Ben Nevis, Grisedale Horseshoe, Peris Horseshoe and Bullock Smithy (and some people might even consider Totley Exterminator a "top" race)

...and the Lake District Mountain Trial.

Peris on the Saturday, LDMT on the Sunday? No problem!

In fact Peris & LDMT are both the 2nd weekend in September. Ben Nevis & Peris clashed last year, though.

OK, so that's 6 events on the first weekend in September - any advance?

any more "crammed" weekend than this?

most of May is usually pretty choc-a...

i can only assume you are looking for an argument
on my map the dales and the Lakes are both in the north west therefore same area?????????????????????????????????????????????
ben Nevis and the lakes are not even in the same country so how can you yse them as an example to ridicule my post
go on a navigation course

Thirteen races last weekend in May including three on Bank Holiday Monday

I'm with the Slug in thinking the Lakes and Dales are different areas. Blooming long way from Bolton Abbey to Wasdale

Thankyou for answering my question.

I think the reason the clash is a bit disappointing (to me) is that the two races are often done one before the other (by me ). I see where the man from del monte is coming from in that if you live in the north west you'd probably be able to travel to either without too much hassle but I equally agree with daz the slug - Horton I can get to in 10 minutes and that little place that the AW starts from (Stair?) is 2 hours away at least - on a good day, I can get to the outskirts of Birmingham in 2 hours!!

The 3 peaks is a longer slog but counts for double points because its in the Dales whereas the AW is in the spoggy old Lake District
