    3 peaks then cycle between

    Has anyone been daft enough to climb Snowden then cycle to Scafell climb it,then cycle to Ben Nevis and climb that.
    This is what my mate Mick has roped me into some time in July, his organisational skills are not the best. So if any one has any route choices tips please help!!!!!! Oh yes and he wants to do it in 3 days.....
    LOST TIME IS NEVER FOUND AGAIN, WHAT WE CALL TIME ENOUGH ALWAYS PROVES LITTLE ENOUGH.

    agree that 3 days would be a fine achievement and think you'd have to be some athlete to accomplish it....

    3 days just to cycle the route without the running would be good...it's a long way on the main roads round to Wasdale....unless you go over Wrynose and Hardknott

    how about cyclo camping it for the true adventure !

    I'd like a bet on this. 10 quid to Mountain Rescue if you do it in <72 hours.

    Keep us posted.

    And good luck...................

    actually it's a damm tough proposition

    last february, as a bit of training I cycled over to do the LLandudno 10k road race and back...a hilly 230 miles in 2 days

    your escapade makes that look like a tootle to the shops

    best of luck

    jus did a AA routeplanner...it's 500 miles just for the cycling and you won't be on motorways

    I'll be in for that bet too !
