Story

I am raising money for the restoration of Skiddaw Forest and to help Cumbria Wildlife Trust restore it as part of their 100 year vision.

To do this, I am running 10 iconic Lake District fell routes, totalling 368 miles and 132,000ft ascent, before Christmas 2025.

The routes are:

Great gift (21miles, 9500ft)

Lunar round (24miles, 9350ft)

Abrahams Tea Round (30 miles, 12,000ft)

Cumbrian Traverse (30miles, 12,000ft)

Ullswater highway (35miles, 10,100ft)

Charnley Round (38miles, 12,700ft)

23 before tea (37miles, 16,000ft)

No Cure, Always Hope (39 miles, 17,00ft)

Freeman round (50 miles, 15,000ft)

Wainwrights 7 summits (64 miles, 18,000ft)
