Thank you all for such valuable advice! From one thread, you've given me so much to go on.

Wheeze - I'll definitely join the WFRA and thanks for that selection of races and clubs. The Forest of Dean must also be an off-road runner's paradise. The Llanbedr to Blaenafon is a new one for me, but just the type of race I would love - an A to B race like Manx or Tanky's.

Paul - I might well do the Ll to B - I'm getting married on 14th April, so just need to see if my wife-to-be needs me for any last-minute logistical jobs.

Once again, thanks all. Monmouthshire here I come!
