yo paul,

you forgot the puffer which makes for 11 this year!

REalistically for me it will be -
Strathpuffer
10 under, or 10 at, or 10 more
Selkirk (I'll do the 75 with ya)
Relentless24

If I can do more then defo, but it's these I'm aiming for.

Got quite a few munros in mind this year so could do a few of them too to take it up to the magic ten mark - if you fancy tagging along since you'll need walking legs for nevis anyway

Still thinking about mine.

They will include the following though, hopefully....

C2C offroad and onroad
South Downs way, maybe both ways.
200 miles in a day (just a warm up)
300 miles in a day
A nice long road trip, say a week of proper caning it around the UK, or France.
