Is that Crosthwaite, Keswick or is there another one?
If Keswick, what about the Derwentwater Dawdle: ascendevents.co.uk

or is it the one SW'ish of Keswick? If so, probably not going to get many fell races, but That's Lyth goes through it.

If we're talking the Kendal one - there's the Helm Hill winter league helmhill.co.uk

Pretty much missed them all for this year though

Thanks for the replies - I didn't realise there was more than one Crosthwaite (it is over 40 years since I lived there and haven't been back there often) - it is the Lyth one - I seem to recall a Fetchie (Siouxsie?) mentioning doing an ultra which passed by my old/first school

It's not an Ultra, but flanker is correct that the route for That's Lyth goes right through the village

Event info - ldwa.org.uk

Close approximation to the route when I did it (in 2010!) - fetcheveryone.com/routes-view.php?id=469012

I did That's Lyth this year: http://www.fetcheveryone.com/route-1836516

I think some people may have made it into an ultra by mistake!

I think Saturday was the better day Snoot, what do you think? A few clouds yesterday but lovely all the same. View from Wandope:


And also - shock and horror - me actually running uphill :-)

About This Thread

Maintained by Northern Exile
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 :-)
