Four Lakeland Passes LDWA

They might have the rope slide organised by then! ;-)

What about a third option - the footpath from Buttermere straight over the summit. I'm sure that will be very popular

Looks good... only problem is that I've already booked the weekends either side for BG training with my superior half. Might have to reopen negotiations.

Good to hear you're thinking about the BG again DT. I've got quite a few recces/training runs pencilled in if you're interested in hooking up, sharing lifts, etc. I'll drop you a PM.

Got your pm Hank. I'll be in touch

The option went into Warnscale Bottom and then over the South flank of Fleetwood Pike, basically following the bridleway marked on the 1:50,000 OS, although a lot of walkers seemed to prefer going straight up the Honister road.
The descent from Honister is fun on the bridleways - 2 1/2 miles of rough downhill when your legs are already shot

It would be good if the road up honister was out of bounds and people had to ascend via warnscale, I remember from last time I ran up that path it being pretty hard going!
Im going to be taking in this event all things being well, be nice to get some long training in over in the lakes but I dont seem to have a weekend where im not racing this side of easter !!

This one is on my radar too.

Eddie, I did this during a 25 miler whilst CCC training, from Braithwaite over the NW fells to Buttermere, round the lake, up Fleetwith Nose, down to the quarries, back over the BG to newlands Church then some level stuff back to B'waite.

The Nose was new to me, quite steep and rocky in parts, but on a clear day (it wasn't) the situation would be stunning.

The view from the Nose is classic Lakeland. You missed a treat Morgan

Event is week after Haworth Hobble. I'm hoping to do both if I'm around

Me too, rreally looking forward to them. How was the Hardmoors 30 by the way DT?

What are the rules for doing something like this? Im not a member of the LDWA but can map read and navigate easy enough. It would be an ideal day out for someone like me to do without the 'pressure' of being in a true race situation. Can I just enter?

Yes, you can enter without being a LDWA member. In some events non-members pay a little more to enter.
