Hullo,
Thought this may be of general interest....
There is good coverage of the Goat Fell Hill race in Arran from The Adventure Show (BBC Scotland) in the link below, the race is usually 3rd weekend in May.....get the ferry from Ardrossan, approx 4 to 4 1/2hours drive from Ilkley , would require a weekend away, race start is in Brodick and about 1 mile from the ferry port , plenty of B&B's etc , just in case it appeals to anyone.
