I am sure we can cope with the ascent each day to get it done in a week, and we both move well over rock.
Has anyone got other running specific tips - is it easier to go with the flow (North to South) or against the traffic?
How much should we budget for food?
How big/bad are the scree descents - my good lady isn't too keen on scree!
Has anyone else done it in a week and how fit were you? Winning Lakeland classics, or hobbling in at the back of the field?
Thanks for any info.
