I can get a bit more time to do something and had a long and hard think about the two volcano sprint in Italy in October. (entries close tomorrow).
Having had a proper look, it's even harder than I had realised. The amount of climbing is crazy, 22,000m in just 1,070km, and you basically have 4 days +3 nights to do it in. I really wasn't sure if I could get round it in that time.
Would have been up for giving it a go, but we're in Germany for a family thing at the moment and I just didn't fancy doing another return flight with all the covid stuff around.
The other October option is Andi Buchs' Morocco event which sounds good, but would be two weeks. Also it has some optional sections which you can decide on when you are out there, which sounds like a flawed format, I prefer to have no choice but to keep going.
So new plan is to do UK bucket list stuff that I never get round to, must likely a September / October SR starting with hilly 600 in Wales and 200 round the lake district, but no racing.
