Nav 4 Lakes 42 is a good race and I'd second Jacdaw's comments on the Lakeland 5 passes (I did that in 2019 as part of my build up). The 5 Passes has some shared sections, though in the opposite direction. The L42 has only the smallest bit in common but is a classic Nav4 race, tough and very low key, no frills but very friendly.

Don’t know if they still do it but the LDWA By Lake, Ridge and Wainwright is / was a good day out

DT I think you need a software update! 😉 the last reference I can find for that one is 2012, the LDWA group that organised it doesn't even exist anymore they became part of the Lakekand LDWA group who have a couple challenge events (That's Lyth and Spring in Lakeland) both of which are worth a look but may well be full already?

I’m fairly certain BLRW was £6 when I did it. Costly but worth it I’ve done Spring in Lakeland but never That’s Lyth. Autumn in Lakeland is good too (well it is ‘til you manage to pour a mug of tea over your ‘lower region’ at a check-point)

Was that £6 in lsd DT? There are many ways of getting out of an Ultra mid-race but I'm not sure that's one I'd recommend 😮 |

You can probably add 3 Rings of Shap too back to the question though, why not just head out with a map and do some long days in the fells. You'll probably get a better feel for the area that way than following a line of other people in a race. And it's a lot cheaper

Thanks all This is true flanker 🙂 I was thinking of killing two birds with one stone as a condition of my UTMB CCC deferral to 2023 was to do at least one qualifier in 2022. There's a couple I can see on their list. Mountain Festival 50k mentioned by jacdaw and Ultra Challenges 1st/2nd halves which are a bit steep! |

A *bit* steep? F’kinell! Ive done one of their events before, it was expensive but not like that! And £25 per night to camp, £15 for a shuttle bus back, and parking on top? Shame, cos a half route would be a nice day out - easy enough to do the route solo and use a bus, so I might find a weekend to do that instead. |

Rosehip 😀😀😀 I did look at the pricing for a while and thought well maybe it's for charity. I hope it is! Mind you I suppose you could say the Mountain Festival 50k is comparably steep considering its sponsored by a well known German shoe maker. I guess I assumed they would subsidise it slightly, maybe they do and it would be more if not. 🤷 |

£58 for the mountain festival 50k isn’t in the same league as Challenge Events pricing though, a bit tempted by that one, but think Ive got more planned this year than I have legs for already
