                                      & FUTURE VENUES - A PRIZE FOR THE BEST LEAD! 
                                       Many 
                                      of you have already contacted us since the 
                                      event but we would welcome additional comments 
                                      regarding the format and style of the event. 
                                      It is really important to me that the event 
                                      should remain innovative, exciting and provide 
                                      fresh experiences each year. Ideally, I 
                                      would like competitors to feel inspired 
                                      by the event and to look forward to the 
                                      weekend with anticipation as it approaches. 
                                      It is our aim to provide a mountain marathon 
                                      for connoisseurs with the most challenging 
                                      courses and the finest venues. This can 
                                      only be achieved by limiting the numbers 
                                      to a sensible limit of 500 teams. Above 
                                      that size, we feel that our options would 
                                      be severely limited as the local infrastructure 
                                      is put under too much pressure. Inevitably 
                                      the first concession we would have to make 
                                      is the quality of the venue.  We 
                                      would like to place the ball back in your 
                                      court. If you know an area of the Scottish 
                                      Highlands that you feel would provide scope 
                                      for a good event and would cope with up 
                                      to 500 pairs, please contact us with your 
                                      proposal. Better still, if you are acquainted 
                                      with contact/s on the ground such as Landowners, 
                                      Factors or Stalkers and could provide us 
                                      with an introduction we would be especially 
                                      pleased to hear from you. The most helpful 
                                      suggestion will be rewarded with a free 
                                      entry to the LAMM in a future year. I would 
                                      like to thank everyone who suggested locations 
                                      for LAMM 2001 and especially Wendy Dodds 
                                      who wins a free entry for mentioning Ardverikie 
                                      estate to me a few years ago and helping 
                                      to sew the seeds of an idea.
