Geoff, a few of us reccied the first half of the route on our club night last Thursday but we called it a day at the Lower Shelf flag (CP5?) due to poor visibility (you couldn’t see the Higher Shelf trig from a few metres away). I seem to recall that the flag in White Clough was quite tricky to find also. The course looked challenging with plenty of climb involved anyway.
Just in case anyone's interested (I am)...
March Edale
April FLM()
May Old Counties Tops (partner permitting)
June Duddon
July Wasdale
August Borrowdale
Etc. etc...

Yes, I'm sure I will. It's just that the other two are both club championship races & Fairfield's an English champs. Still, you can't do everything, can you?Originally Posted by Mr1470

Also noticed that Langdale is on the same day as the British relays. Whose idea was that? I don't think the club would be too happy with me swanning off to Langdale!
Maybe 50 again if I stay fit.
Definitely the Hayfield Series, all the Darwen and Pendle races and the Goyt Valley Series.
Kinder Trial, Winter Hill, Edale Skyline, Clwydian Hills ...
January: Last xc SEL, Joe Geeling race
Feb: NOT the Penine Bridleway relay
July(ish): Cross the bay race
August: Cockerham Triathlon (my first Tri)
Other local fell races if I am not busy.
23 lots of Race results as well, so present but not competing!
If i recommend a race which i'm sure quite a few will have tried, The Mallerstang Yomp, first sunday in June, 23 miles , 3700' of ascent. Done it for 10 years, had every weather possible, but it's all fun, views great and endless tea and sarnis at the end, showers, very hot. It starts at Kirby Stephen School. Apart from the yomp here's my list for 2007 .
Feb Rombalds
Mar Trollers Trot
April Guisborough
May Cronkley
June Yomp
July Lyke Wake
Sept Simonside show
Oct 9 Edges or Loch Ness Marathon
Nov Roaches
Dec Simonside cairns
Feet up after that for a rest!!
