111 miles, 45,300 feet
 |
| The route takes in Striding Edge |
This round was first conceived by Steve Parr in the 1980s and is a
peak bagging extravaganza taking in all the 2500 foot tops in the Lake
District over 2 days. As far as I am aware, Steve is the only person to
complete the route in his allotted 48 hours (he took around 43 hours). I
developed shin splints and was a whisker away from not being able to
walk at all at the end. I completed but had taken so long to shuffle
with my poles that I took 53 hours. Its a pretty tough route which
includes Pillar Rock, but its not the most natural line and may well
entail two nights out.
