Story

Last year, I saw this challenge on t'internet and thought, "ooh, I quite fancy doing that!"

So I roped in family (The Husband & nephew Kieran), friends (Mark & Stephen) and dogs (spaniels Holly & Bear) who enjoy a day out in the hills to form a team and here we are, gearing up to walk 5 peaks in 5 hours. Our team name, I can't believe it's not Buttermere, plays homage to David and his amazing map reading skills. The 5 in 5 starts and finishes at the Swinside Inn, near Keswick. The route is approximately eight miles long and takes in five peaks – Causey Pike (637m), Scar Crags (672m), Outerside (568m), Stile End (447m) and Barrow (455m). So if we end up in Buttermere, we're lost. Again...!

Please sponsor us as we take part in the 5 in 5 Challenge in aid of the MS Society. You never know, next year we might tackle the 10 in 10...
