The race is of almost 11 miles and it’s route takes in a stunning traverse across the Seathwaite tarn Dam, climbs from there upto Swirl How , passes the wartime aircraft wreckage at Great Carrs, climbs further to the top of Coniston Old Man, before speeding back to the finish via Dow Cragg, White Pike and the relics of various old Quarry workings.
Sam heading off into the cloud.
This year the tops were largely shrouded in cloud which made navigation a bit tricky and limited the usual benefit of spectacular views.
