For those with ambitions on competing in the LCT 2018...

As you probably know, we planned to 'rest' the three shorter (and largest entry) long races in turn - Langdale, Borrowdale and Three Shires. Which would have meant that Borrowdale would have been the non-counter this year.

However with Buttermere Horseshoe being an English and British Championship race this year, it will be over-busy (perhaps over-subscribed?) with that. So Buttermere Horseshoe will be 'rested' from the trophy this year.

That means that the LCT races 2018 are the same as they were for many years up to 2015:
Borrowdale promoted to a super long, along with Duddon, Ennerdale and Wasdale; and Langdale and Three Shires as the 'shorter' longs.
