Story
After about 40 miles of walking and 3000m of ascent last year coupled with sleep deprivation, body's breaking down and the Welsh weather (see it all here: https://vimeo.com/139697919) it would be foolish to attempt a seemingly longer, physically more demanding challenge this year.
But that is exactly what we are doing. Introducing The Lakeland 50.
50 miles. 3100m of ascent. 24 hours. All in the picturesque setting of the Lake District.
Starting at Dalemain House and walking 50 miles to Coniston, it's the UK's premier ultra trail challenge and has been described as "one of the greatest ultra running and walking challenges in Europe" so it should be a breeze.
If signal permits we'll be keeping everyone updated on P Dog moaning about his weak muscles and Sam's shit chat with #Fredland50
We're doing for the third time for the Mediavest charity, The Fred Foundation, which does great work in allowing children with autism to reach their potential through individualised programmes.
Any donation, no matter the amount, will make a difference.
