Tour de Helvellyn

[Derby Tup]

Am on the verge of entering this ...... I need someone to come and talk some sense into me quickly!

Sign up for XOTF instead :thumbup: The run's free, all you need is your beer and curry money :w00t:

But how does this compare in difficulty to the high peak marathon? Similar?

Very different. The TdH is almost entirely on good paths, so little navigational effort needed, and much more running. Which is probably why I found the HPM easier

Thanks for that. I think I would be the same.

Don't be soft! I'll buy you a pint in the Queens Head in Askham at the end... there's not may pints taste as good as one you've run 38 miles for.

I always find the fifth or six pint at XOTF tastes rather good. And all you have to do to earn it is a gentle stroll up Keswick market-place from Lakeland Spice to the Dog and Gun past the Moot Hall :closed:

Hope to see you there and maybe the kit check will be more stringent. Please bring a survival bag not blanket.

Cheers

Right, we're in. I'm looking forward to that beer already

Good man. I might throw in a packet of peanuts if you're lucky.

That's it. I've signed up too.
