    I agree with that. I've never been one for doing lots of races per year but if more of the Lakes classics and other events were EOD I'd probably enter a few more. However I do have some sympathy for race organisers who have to deal with large numbers turning up for races which clearly can't handle the traffic, Borrowdale springs immediately to mind.
    Perhaps an either/or approach such as at Duddon might work better?
    Do what you like, like what you do

    I like this idea and one way perhaps we could help would be by making the effort to car share more - I believe on the longer races the real pressure is sometimes on parking etc, rather than necessarily environmental. (Some organisers are doing a good job of encouraging this - Ian Hodgson parking arrangements for example).The other issue that might cause problems for this idea however is where ROs need to vet experience, but good clarification of what they wanted for that particular race might help prevent anyone turning up who was likely to be refused entry.

    seems a bit daft though bill when there's plenty of weekends through the summer with no Lakes ALs on at all ... There's only three superlongs, may as well spread em out, if you want more people to do them that is.

    LakesRunner have put Great Lakes Run on the weekend after them too.

    Anyhow, reccied Ennerdale yesterday - god it's a beast isn't it. A real step up from Duddon, which seemed a lot closer to Borrowdale in difficulty.

    Ennerdale totally different cup of tea - much rougher terrain than either those two, some soul-sapping losses of altitude that then have to be regained, and soooo long. I was thinking as we saw the drop-off between Pillar and Scoat fell 'I'm not sure I will actually enter this race'.

    And no water anywhere (not flowing water anyway), unless I was being more dozy than usual?

    well yeah ok, was just expressing my disappointment that I won't be running in the GLR cos it looks a great race

    sure there's reasoning behind fixtures, but sometimes to an outsider (i.e., doesn't live in Lakes and not involved in ROing) it can look a bit .... illogical.

    you mean the LCT? it's a points competition contested by entering the Lakeland Classics: so anyone who does 2 superlongs (Duddon, Ennerdale, Wasdale) and 1 long (Borrowdale, Three Shires, Langdale), will be classified in the points. You don't have to enter the LCT (I thought?), I think someone keeps an eye on it.
