It’s my goal this year to complete all the Lakeland Classic Fell Races. Last weekend was the first of the big races and this weekend, it got bigger! Ennerdale is a true horseshoe layout traversing major peaks in the Western Lake District. It’s notorious for its rough terrain and covers 23miles and almost 8,000ft ascent.
The day started in cloud with poor visibility making navigation very tricky. I made a few errors dropping too low on a traverse and also went over summits I needn’t have. This added unnecessary climbing and l lost many places. Thankfully, the sun came out for the final 7miles & I finished strong as 1st Lv50 in 6:34:52, 9minutes faster than 7years ago!
