45 miles, 11,000 feet
The name says it all really - a circular tour of the 4 highest peaks
in the Lake District , starting and finishing in Keswick. The walk is
completed every year in June as an event organised by the Ramblers, but
clearly you can do it anytime you want to. I have to say that its not
my favourite, with far too many valley miles and some rather dull
terrain. Its very much a poor cousin of the Welsh 3000s which is a
splendid day out, but it's within the abilities of most fit walkers and I
found a winter round on a very windy day to be a very real challenge.
In the summer its a rather different affair which I completed in just
under 12 hours including an extra hour for going over Castle Crag and
High Rigg.
