Northern Exile Jul 2020 9:17pm, 8 Jul 2020 6,534 posts	0 Northern Exile There's some really interesting challenges out there right now. I know one person who is contemplating doing all the Lakes 2500s, this is not quite in the same league as the 214 Wainwrights but it's a bit enough challenge and navigationally quite tricky. I think it works out at round 130 miles.

jacdaw Jul 2020 9:25pm, 8 Jul 2020 3,131 posts	0 jacdaw JK was supposed to start the PW on the 3rd or 4th of July, but has put it off based on weather forecast, and his experience of his last 3 rounds challenge, where he set off despite the weather. Link to twitter for DT. mobile.twitter.com
Badger Jul 2020 9:28pm, 8 Jul 2020 12,510 posts	0 Badger I was talking to one of Paul’s running club last year (owner of the place I stayed for the LT 55k), and he said they’d done a group run one evening supporting him; at least that was the idea, in practice he just dropped the lot of them.
