[pyrat]

Can some people that know suggest some Scottish areas which are like Ilkley Moor and Old Keldy?

First areas which came to mind were Creag an'Tuan for moor and Tentsmuir (south) / Part of the forest formerly known as Allean for keldy.

Theres sure to be some other areas so lets have em.

Duns Castle was pretty good for Keldy practice yesterday!

loch doon?

[Becks]

Nah Loch Doon doesn't have the complex areas required and is very different underfoot. Can't think of anything like Ilkley I've run on up here.

[Kitch]

For Ilkley the tricky stuff is the rocky landslippy contoursy bit. Maybe Cambus O'May, maybe.
But anywhere that is really hard to map and so ends up being stoppy starty take your time to get it dead right or you're stuffed. Bizzarely perhaps Lossie. Places that you HAVE to be patient and not rush.
Keldy again perhaps some plantationy thing on Deeside might suit for route choices etc.
BUSA might be good.

I hope you'll be declaring yourself non-competitive.

Sounds like you're trying to get an advantage over other competitors.
