Makes the eyes water just reading about it. Mungrisdale to Greendale - the JNC for V70s?
Locations mentioned seem to resolve into Mungrisdale Blencathra Braithwaite Wandope NewlandsHause Robinson DaleHead Honister Brandreth Haycock CatBields GladeHow Buckbarrow Greendale.
On Anquet roughly 35 mile / 14,000ft ...
Is there a more detailed route available? Or did I miss a thread from 3 weeks ago? (quite likely).
I hadn't seen anything else about this before, but a quick Google reveals these:

Times & Star
thank you bill - not quite reached 70 yet, although i'm feeling a bit like it just now.
I've a different linear route in mind to try out some time. transport will pose the biggest challenge for this. still working out some options.
Based on Mungrisdale SoutherFell Blencathra Skiddaw Braithwaite GrisedalePike Wandope Whiteless NewlandsHause Robinson DaleHead Honister Brandreth Gables *KirkFell Pillar Haycock *Seatallan CatBields GladeHow Buckbarrow Greendale
Anquet stats are 35mi, 16400ft. Allowing for the usual Anquet upping of ascent, that sounds about right.
* Kirk Fell and Seatallan aren't mentioned in the press reports but I'm guessing they were included.
