For those of you who are into running, I just ran for 38hrs56 to complete 105 miles in the Lake District, from Friday 6pm until just shy of 9am Sunday. It was a good 'un. Never done that distance before.
Lakeland 100 - 6850m of ascent
From Coniston in a big circle north via Black Sail Pass, Sail Pass, past Keswick to Dalemain, then back west via Fusedale/Mardale Head/Ambleside etc.
Highly recommended if you're thinking of doing it.
FWIW, I didn't recce the course, or use GPS (allowed but I don't own one) or Hokas (Inov8 315's instead), or get any blisters. I did, of course, use poles, like any sane person. Had to carry a pack with mandatory gear of approx 5kg (I don't own the ultra light stuff).
I have a ton of pics here which feature a creepy number of selfies - the idea was to see how my face would deteriorate over the distance - it did
Pics are missing for the last 12hrs, during which it rained heavily, with spots of hail & lightning. Always fun in the Lakes!
