paulcook 15 Jul 1:29pm, 15 Jul 2024 5,875 posts	0 paulcook Interesting post Simon. So actually only about half the ALs are in the Lakes.
rf_fozzy 15 Jul 1:29pm, 15 Jul 2024 22,682 posts	0 rf_fozzy Trigger is point to point so can't be a champs race. 3P is unlikely to be a champs race again too At least one of those in the lakes is a pairs race, so can't be a champs race too. So it's quite a small pool of races to pick from (which was my original point).
rf_fozzy 15 Jul 1:31pm, 15 Jul 2024 22,683 posts	0 rf_fozzy Doctors gate, the kinder one and Axnfell are new ones to me - but given I currently can't run on the fells and haven't been able to for a couple of years, it's not a surprise they've passed me by
paulcook 15 Jul 1:38pm, 15 Jul 2024 5,876 posts	0 paulcook In addition, there was also Howgills AL. I never ran it, though pretty certain it's the one I recced with a friend, rather than Sedbergh Hills, but I always confuse the two. Doesn't look like it's been held since Covid though.
Curly45 15 Jul 2:12pm, 15 Jul 2024 4,729 posts	0 Curly45 Maybe I'll keep this one in mind for next year, I've run up and over Ingleborough before as part of a 15 miler solo so I should be okay with it: fellrunner.org.uk My biggest issue this year has been people walking getting in the way on the technical bits. Gives me the absolute rage as they are ruining the bit I am good at 😂 Those peaks ones in the list above look brutal, definitely not for beginners.
