flanker Sep 2021 12:26am, 11 Sep 2021 19,982 posts	0 flanker Compared to the Spine Sprint it's great value. £100 for 43 miles "There is very little hand-holding on this race. We expect you to travel with a degree of self-sufficiency and skill which sets this race apart from others." i.e. it's a 100 quid to run along a national trail and get a t-shirt, and no other race would have the cheek.

Hanneke Sep 2021 11:58am, 11 Sep 2021 79,412 posts	0 Hanneke I was thinking of a Dragons Back race here in the Black Mountains... £25 for a track download of the route... Bargain, innit?
Ally-C Sep 2021 9:54am, 26 Sep 2021 1,231 posts	0 Ally-C What’s Scafell Pike like as a walk in decent weather? Probably from Wasdale. The only English hill I’ve ever been up was Helvellyn from striding edge, but we went with someone. Reasonably hill fit & a Munro compleatist.
Northern Exile Sep 2021 10:05am, 26 Sep 2021 7,982 posts	0 Northern Exile Easy-peasy , especially if you've previously done the Munros. You may be disappointed by the large number of other pilgrims on your path. You may find it more of an adventure to go from Seathwaite or Langdale. Quite a nice route from Eskdale too.
Derby Tup Sep 2021 10:09am, 26 Sep 2021 51,937 posts	0 Derby Tup I’m with NE. On a good day it’ll be busy for sure. Go to Wasdale but do the Mosedale horseshoe instead. Or go up Sca Fell and over to Slight Side

Somewhere you can confidently ask "which is the best chip shop in Keswick?" and expect an intelligent reply.

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
