It starts in the village and goes north to High Street via Yoke and Ill Bell, and back over Nan Bield, Harter Fell and Kentmere Pike.

Mmmm never been over that way...might have a walk round in the spring....check it out
That must have REALLY unbalanced your chakras.Actually, come to think of it, so have I...got up to Fairfield and nearly got blown away....bally baltic it was....couldn't see a thing in front of me....total white out...so retraced my steps back down the same way....without any lunch!
The eastern lakes are normally pretty quiet. Only a handful of runners did the LDWA 'Where Eagles Fly' event in that area, but it was well worthwhile.Mmmm never been over that way...might have a walk round in the spring....check it out
I'm tempted by the Rings of Shap event, which takes in even less frequented areas.
Oh yes it did....I get really grumpy when I'm hungry!
I thought 3 Shires was pretty good, i especially liked working out my own route up Wetherlam.
anni waltz is perfect I think as an intro to Lakes racing: there are long runnable stretches and with the exception of Robinson at the start and the descent of Dalehead, the gradients aren't too intimidating.
And it's navigationally quite easy and there's about 450 people of all sorts of abilities doing it.
And cake.
What about Helvellyn? 11 miles/4500 feet. It's a bit of a slog up Calfhow Pike at the start (and a buggar of a descent at the end on tired legs), but once you're up it's a great ridge run to Helvellyn and back.
Great lakes run sounds a good un' 12m 7000ft maybe bit to much clibing for a first lakes race as i think navigation is key on this as well but its all ways there if ya wanna have a pop
No idea, old bean.Where's the other half? Does Noone know
