I was gonna mention that I thought the climb to Wansfell Pike was steep but I thought I might be being soft 😂. There’s a board in the Force cafe with an ascent challenge. The times looked incredible to me! |

The owner of Force was 2nd in the Lakeland 100 this year and within the old record time. His names probably up there.

I did the Wansfell Pike climb (some years ago, he's now 34) with a child on my shoulders. That was good for thigh strengthening. |

It is steep, but over quickly. I like the route that goes round the back on the track to Troutbeck, then take a route up Nanny Lane/Hundreds Road and aim for Baystones (the Wainwright). Once at Baystones do the track over the summit plateau to Wansfell Pike, then head down. I did it in February this year and ended up on my arse once as it was wet and slippy in the grassy sections. |

I did Wansfell from the Low Wood Bay hotel. It was rather nice to head back through the gate into the grounds, shower and head to breakfast 😋
