my mate and I are looking at entering a mountain marathon, or similar event, next year.
Neither of us has done one before but we're both experienced bad-weather walkers, I've done a bit of fell-running, we're both pretty fit, decent navigators (he's very good, I'm adequate) etc.
He knows the Lakes well, and we thought that would be a good place to try our first one. So I've been looking at the Saunders.
Anyone got any other recommendations? Is it too late for me to have a crack at one of these things this year to get a flavour of it?
I've done a bit of clicking around but not really sure how all these other events - Fellsman, Lakeland 100, etc - differ from MMs.
